If you know someone who lives life from a
wheelchair they will tell you that stand up clothes are uncomfy for
them to wear, they ride up, and bind on people in wheelchairs in ways
that people who stand and walk, could never imagine. While looking for
a replacement pattern for my fav artsy/baggy pants pattern called the
Mompe Pants(I lost mine when the friend I loaned it to came home from
their vacation to a burned down house)... They had insurance, so they will be okay, but I am without my pattern, so awhile looking for a replacement copy I stumbled onto this
page, by a designer who lives life in a wheelchair, and not only
designs patterns adjusted for a sit down lifestyle...but she gives them
away online via a web page "FASHION FREAKS- free sew-it-yourself
clothing patterns for wheelchair users":
The site for the patterns is found here.My hat would be off to her if I wore one...
And
in case you like artsy/baggy pants that are the next best thing to
running around naked.... the Mompe pants
are shown here with a link to the pattern maker.*cross posted from LJ...
