A purse for a crutch

Spelling is more important for some posts than for others. This one is a post where it makes all the difference.

The hospital visits in the past two weeks showed us some health care differences between Germany and the US. One difference is the style of crutches. The good old American inverse A frame crutch (the correct term is bariatric) is unknown here, they use forearm crutches instead.

But no matter what your crutch style, there does not seem to be a purse to go with it.

We can think of many reasons but someone should go and make purses you can put on crutches. The catchy name for the implement would be "curse", a Crutch Purse.

Two quilt square sized pieces of fabric and a few inches of velcro would be a good starting point for a Curse. You can get all artsy on the project with colorful fabric, or paint fabric yourself. For the more demanding male, leather with or without studs can be a nice basic material.

Sell on Etsy, and you have a supplemental income.

The K-Landnews Random Research Team has a day off, so checking Etsy.com for a Curse seemed too much work for our digitally challenged editor.

If you do make a mint with accessories for crutches after reading this post, credits would be nice.
