Oh, how I hate to sew!!

I was working with a client who had met all her goals and was being discharged the following week. The COTA that was working with her suggested that we should organize her rollator because it was becoming a safety issue. I had the brilliant idea to create a "reacher bag" for her rollator so she could store her reacher, long handle shoe horn and her beloved Chapstick (the cherry flavor). I have to say "it took a village" to make this reacher bag. If it weren't for my classmates sewing skills and my teachers ideas this idea would have never gotten off the ground. I needed to modify the length of the bag and add different handles; BUT when it was done it looked great and I was very proud of myself for finishing the bag. I especially liked it's front pocket for the Chapstick. I hope that will be one of many fabrications that I will do to help keep my clients safe.
