Wish I had a good pic of these don't got any pic at all tho sorry.

My mom recently made my brothers each a bag for their chairs rather than hanging from back theirs hangs on the side as they are often out alone and have hard time getting stuff out of back of wheelchair.

Mom used old pair of jeans carpenter jeans works well if ya need a loop to hang cane in. She added extra pockets to the jeans some of them bigger some smaller. Both of my brothers bags a different as they have different needs.

She used extra demin material prolly from the legs of the jeans made loops for arm of chair that attaches with velcro. If you want bag to be used on multi chairs make straps to hang bag with adjustable. The strap adjusters from old bib overalls or something like that would work well for this.

Put velcro on the inside of the bag to close it with on 1 and a zipper in the other one.

The bag can be made as big or small as you like. Simular to the jeans bags many of us made a carried in the 70's.

For those who don't remember the 70's jeans bag it was pair of jeans cut off just below the pockets then hemmed strap was usually a wide piece of decorative trim stuff much like used for guitar straps or it could a strap made from the legs of the jeans. EVERYONES was different.

Mom put a couple pockets inside my brothers bags as well. Look at the inside pockets on a purse you like you'll get ideas.
 
Thanks for sharing.
Those sound pretty nice (plus recycling old jeans).
