I like your idea. I use a complex rehab powerchair and would like to know more about how U designed it, I have a bandanna over a small slightly curved headrest and a colorful seat cushion cover to replace the black one. I need to make a cover for my back and leg rests. My hole seat is black and my straps are black, but at least I’m not stuck in a gray car seat with red bottom powerchair :-) I would.put a chair co er over that quickly. I like to pimp my chair and am never through with adding something every once in a while, not that I’m not satisfied. I figured out how to add my own lights and stuff, on top of just wheelchair accessories type of stuff like a cup holder.

What a great job. I can’t sew for toffee, so your safety-pin idea is an inspiration!

A smart solution! I love that fabric. Butterflies are cool.

Innovative! I like the fabric you chose and I can imagine it is much nicer on hot days then the black. I speak from experience on this as my car is black…well blackberry….with black seats and in summer I regret that decision.

Congratulations on getting the chair. It really has beautiful lines and the purple is awesome. It looks like it would cradle you perfectly. I remember when you were picking out the features but I didn’t imagine it would look this comfortable.

I think safety pins were a good choice and you must have had a really big supply of those. If someone comes along that can sew they could add hems and velcro or elastic. I like the way it looks more individualistic now and will be cooler.

You do look hot and exhausted. I want to hand you a cool cloth for your face. Sometimes when I am hot I drink a cold drink I make in the blender with ice and a bit of fruit and a bit of milk or a bit of powdered cocoa. It cools from the inside out.

Hope you get some rest after all your creative efforts. I love the covers! Great job!! Hugs, Mom
