  3. love the giveaway!! awesome stuff. the mixer has been on my wish list for over five years now 🙂 maybe ill win one

  5. I send my Mom unusual stationery, small business only, every year. I haven’t decided what to give myself, as of yet. Even thought I take care of my three grandchildren, my daughter never acknowledges me on Mothers’ Day.

  7. Wow!! This is awesome!! Would love a Cricut and would have to go with the camera since mine died!!

  12. My blistered and sore fingers would be eternally grateful to have this machine!!!! 🙂 I’ve been cutting out shapes by hand with just scissors for my projects. And the mixer would be awesome too… been stirring everything also by hand. Oh the things I could make and the time (and pain) I could save with these two!!!

  13. My mom is gone 18 years now, but I’m making a special framed gift for my daughter––wish I had a Cricut to help me out!

  22. My mom passed when I was very young, but my aunt stepped in and has treated me as a daughter ever since. So I have actually been working on a crocheted sweeter for her. She is a mom to me in every way.

  23. My mom is the best mom ever! sorry everyone! 😉 I ordered her a necklace from Rusted Chain in memory of our late pup Tessie.

  24. My mom died when she was 36, but my daughter is a mom. I usually bake her any dessert she wants, but my home is under repair after a slab leak, so no baking this Mother’s Day.

  25. I’m making her my homemade Meyer lemon sugar scrub, Lavender bath salt and some Strawberry Meringue Roses cookies. 🙂

  61. I am making a swim suit cover-up. My mom exercises in the summer by swimming.

  62. My Mom has Alzheimers and loves the hand made cards I make for her. I could totally upgrade them with a Cricut! I would be so grateful!!!Let me say I love your blog and have shared various projects with many friends.

  63. My mother hasn’t been with us for some time, but this year I’m sharing Mother’s Day with my niece. She’s just received a grim prognosis so our plans are to make lots of memories with her young girls. The circuit and camera would be great tools for saving those memories. Great give away!

  65. I’m not sure what I’m making her yet. Something with a picture of my kids on it probably

  66. I make cards for my mother all the time. It would be so cool to have the circuit cutter to help with that. The other two prizes are great too.

  68. It would be nice to have new cameras to exchange pictures with my mom of my two little guys (2 years and a 2 month old). A cricut cutter could really help with making freezer paper templates for their shirts!!

  70. I haven’t ever done scrapping before, but after being an avid fan of people on Pinterest who do this, I would love to learn!

  72. Thank you for this! I’ve been wanting one for almost 10 years now! *Fingers Crossed*!!

20 Wheelchair Friendly Sewing Patterns

When my mum started using a wheelchair for longer outings, it changed how we approached everything — from how we packed her essentials to how she stayed warm and dry outdoors. As a lifelong sewist, I naturally turned to my fabric stash and sewing machine to help make life a little easier and more comfortable for her. I began sewing a variety of accessories and quickly discovered there’s an entire world of wheelchair-friendly sewing patterns out there — not just for bags, but for clothing too.

This roundup isn’t just about tote bags and organizers (although there are plenty of clever, functional options for those too!). It’s a collection of sewing patterns that help make everyday life in a wheelchair more comfortable, dignified, and practical. You’ll find saddle bags, armrest pouches, walker bags, and even fat quarter-friendly designs that let you personalize every piece. I’ve tried several of these myself to see what best suits my mum’s needs on different days — whether it’s a compact arm bag for quick outings or a spacious tote for longer trips.

But what really amazed me were the adaptive clothing patterns included in this roundup. From a brilliantly designed rain poncho that keeps the wearer dry without bunching or slipping, to a split-back jumper that’s easy to get on and off — these pieces are more than just functional. They help preserve dignity, comfort, and independence. And sewing them yourself allows you to adjust the fit, style, and fabrics to your loved one’s personal preferences — something store-bought options often overlook.

This collection is for anyone sewing for someone who uses a wheelchair — whether it’s a parent, partner, friend, or someone in your community. These sewing patterns blend compassion with creativity, offering practical solutions with a personal, handmade touch. Whether you’re a beginner sewist or a seasoned pro, these tutorials are an incredible starting point for crafting with care.

Scroll down to explore the full list of wheelchair-friendly sewing patterns — from brilliant bags to cozy clothing. Each project is designed to make daily life just a little bit easier, and a lot more personal.
