Hi Cuties, I made this new headrest cover, for Avery’s wheelchair, just a few days before Christmas. With all that’s been going on, I forgot to show you. It’s nothing pretty, but necessary. I didn’t have any black vinyl and so I used Navy. I guess I should have waited, until I was able to get black, but parents were so glad they said it was fine. The Navy is so dark I think it’s ok. Besides, they were just glad to have something that wouldn’t get peelings tangled in her hair.

Showing a picture of the black polyurethane fabric that came on the headrest. Look how it peeled. Nora took this picture without Avery in chair and sent me. Then one of her I took at her New Years Eve birthday.
BY the way, I spoke with Mrs Lillian last week. She sends her love. Have a good day Cuties and I’ll try to catch up.❤️Toogie

You did a great job, Toogie. It is hard to get anyone to do repair-type work on the upholstery of a wheelchair, you could probably have a full-time business if you wanted it. The guys in the business just want to sell you the next chair. You are such a great advocate for her!

Thank you Betsey, your words of encouragement are appreciated. The kids always expect I can do things so I try.

What a brilliant grandmother you are. How is Lillian as its quite a while since I have seen a post here from her. Your navy vinyl sewing looks great. Keep up the good work

Thanks, Mrs Lillian is doing pretty good as she says,’ for a woman of her age.’ She sounds good, just as sweet as ever.

I think you did a wonderful job for Avery. And when she is in the chair, who would bother to look beyond her beautiful face. I'm grateful you have been in contact with Miss Lillian. I've missed her.

Mrs Lillian misses everyone too. They have very poor phone and internet connection so it’s hard to get online. Thanks about the headrest cover. I try.

I took the old cover apart so I could cut a pattern. It was worn and stretched but it helped me cut mine out. Thanks!
