The listing, Handicap Helpers for Wheelchairs etc Patterns has ended.

I CHARGE SHIPPING. This include professional printing on quality card stock, the centerfold cutting pattern, envelopes and paypal fee. If you mail the payment you may take off .50 for paypal. Do you have an elderly relative or a friend with a walker or a wheelchair? These are things they may need. These can be sewed, knitted or crocheted. There are Saddlebags for a walker, a wheelchair caddy, elbow and knee warmers, a bib, waterproof underpants, and waterproof bedpads. Also lap Blankets. The first 3 and the last can be made all three ways. The waterproof things need to be sewed. If you spend some time visiting in a nursing home you will see these things being used. You may make some to donate. One of these items I made for my mother when she was in a nursing home for her last 6 months. The others she wouldn't have neded and some were furnished by the home. I made the walker saddlebage with lots of pockets including a long narrow one for knitting needles in case I'll need it someday too. This is also a NEW pattern never used. Some of the things are simply measured in inches and can be made knit, crochet or sewed to the sizes listed. The patterns to be cut out are for the neck of a bhib and the rest is measured in inches. Also there is a pattern for plastic pants. This one needs to me made to fit the person as there are such a variety in sizes. Make only one first and see how it fits before you make more. Be careful with the plasticc things as the edges of plastic can be sharp-. You may need to cover edes with bias tape.

Yes, where possible there are all 3. The wateer proof of panties are only sewing. The leg and arm warmers are better knit or crocheted. The saddlebags for walkers or wheelchairs can be all three. The adult bib is best sewed but the cloth layer could be knit or crocheted and then sewed to plastic topside. When my mom was in a nursing home after a stroke I studied what others had. She couldn't use much as she was paralyzed on the left side. I knitted her a sweater coat and a lap blanket. When he much older cousin had needed a walker she pushed a wooden kitchen chair around the house and carried dishes of food or whatever on thatMy knees are bad and I am using a cane, but the walker will be needed soon. I am 76 now. .
