Features for your Sensory Child
- The seams are worked on the outside so that the inside is smooth and has no scratchy itchy seam allowances or labels.
- The opening at the front creates a wider neckline so no struggles to pull it over the head.
- Make the Tee shirt in recycled fabric (dad or mum’s old sweatshirt or a charity/thrift shop find), to avoid the use of stiff new fabrics and also save the planet.
