Wheelchair Bags

About ten years ago, a very dear friend of mine developed transverse myelitis resulting in her being wheelchair bound. Ever since then I've made her a custom made wheelchair bag every Christmas. Here are some wheelchair bags I made one year for the annual WYNGS fund raiser, where my friend sits on the board of directors.

This is a medium weight tapestry wheelchair bag with external water bottle carrier. It's formally lined in a light weight nylon with two inner pockets. Hook & Loop Velcro® closure at the top, and adjustable Hook & Loop Velcro® straps on the top side edges.


This bag has a base of heavy upholstery velvet with an external overlaid pocket made out of Asian Silk. It's formally lined in a light weight nylon with two inner pockets. Hook & Loop Velcro® closure at the top, and adjustable Hook & Loop Velcro® straps on the top side edges.

Working with imported Asian Silks

I've been making cosmetic bags for quite a few years now, using various materials. What I've found to be the easiest to work with are the Asian silk-rayon blends, imported from China. The inside of the bag is lined in vinyl and the zipper has a tassel pull. These are just a sampling of the Asian prints available.





Below is the small size Signature Line handbag made out of an Asian silk. These handbags are fully lined with a firm bottom, one or two zippered pockets with tassel pulls, and a magnetic snap closure. Straps are long enough to put the bag over your shoulder.

CUSTOM MASSAGE TABLE LINENS

When I became a bodyworker over 25 years ago, custom linens were very expensive and I thought I could make them myself. I was given a sewing machine as a gift and a set of massage table sheets was the very first thing I made. When I designed a special cover for the face cradle and started marketing them, Betsy Ross Linens was born.

I still make custom flannel sheets for massage tables, although there are companies that makes them very affordable now. I make my table linens with beautiful eyelet trims in colors you won't find in online stores that cater to the bodywork industry. My face rest covers are reversible They are two layers of flannel thick, with a layer of fleece in-between the flannel.

E-mail me what your are looking for in sheets, your table dimensions, face cradle brand, knee roll size or other items that need covers and I will quote you a price.
