A Bag for a Walker with a little class

I needed to finalize the pattern, the River Valley Stitchers would use for our project making bags for walkers  for the nursing homes in our area.  Meantime I went to a longarmers quilt group where a 10 minute tablerunner was shown.  I married the two.

Cut two strips, one is 8  1/2" x WOF and the other 15" x WOF.  Sew the strips together.  Turn and press centering the smaller strip.

Clean finish the ends by turning under twice which will cover and his all those selvedges.  If the selvedges are too large, you can trim a little.  These ends will become the top of the pockets.

  Mark about 9" from the edges that you just clean finished.  Turn at the at point to form the pockets

Sew from the bottom of one pocket topstitching to the bottom of the other pocket.  At the same time you can slip in a piece of velcro and have it held by the topstiching.  I put the velcro just below the clean finished edge of the top of the pocket.

Just that quickly you are finished.
