Features for your Sensory Child
- The seams are worked on the outside so that the inside is smooth and has no scratchy itchy seams or labels.
- The shorts are loose and comfy with elastic waistband.
- The pocket contains ribbon tabs – great for attaching all those ‘mustn’t lose’ bits and pieces
- Make the shorts in recycled fabric (mum or dads old jeans, or a charity/thrift shop find), to avoid the use of stiff new fabrics and also save the planet.
