I was able to finish this project I started last week, 10 pairs of boxer briefs for my boys. It's not something I ever dreamed I would actually make, but my sensory kid has been complaining his are bothering him so I did these with minimal exposed seams and encased elastic. I had him try them on and he wouldn't give them back, which is why only 9 are pictured. Pattern is @patternsforpirates Pirates Booty boxer briefs. Fabric is a mix of scraps from @spoonflower and some custom stuff from @theknottybabe #sensory #sensoryprocessingdisorder #spd #sewingforboys #patternsforpirates #tkbprints #yesimadeunderwear

mahaffla: The fact that he wouldn't give them back is a good sign!
pearhugstudio: So cute! I have a sensory kid, too - she cut her hair because it was tickling her neck, she said.
I made this quilt for my dad who has Alzheimer's Disease. It is a sensory and memory quilt.
The fabrics have different textures, and the pictures are ones that he picked out that are meaningful to him. The back is a very soft fleece.
Gave it to my father today (December 27th). Was a couple days late because of the big snowstorm. Anyway...he opened the box and looked at the quilt, and immediately started recalling memories and sharing stories about some of the pictures.
He cried when he looked at other pictures. "I've had a good life," he said.
*~*~*~*
DETAILS ABOUT THE QUILT:
The quilt is made up of 5" x 5" squares of fabrics that have different textures. They all are either blue, green, purple, and/or gold in color (so there's some unity or color scheme).
I had my dad pick out pictures that were meaningful to him. He did this process twice - the second time finding some more pictures that he forgot to include the first time.
As I looked through them, I noticed that he didn't have some that I KNOW would have been meaingful. Asked him if he wanted to include (for example) the one of him with his steer. "YES!" he said. "But I couldn't find it."
So we went through one of his old scrapbooks together and any picture he stopped to talk about and share a good memory about, I took out. We came to a picture of his mom and dad when they were much younger and in a loving embrace (probably in their 40s). All he managed to get out before the tears started coming were, "They loved each other so much."
I scanned all the pictures he chose plus the ones we found together in the scrapbook. Put the images into a Microsoft Word document making sure that the pictures were no larger than 4" x 4". Printed them on fabric that has a heat-set backing (got it at Office Max).
Ironed the pictures onto 5" x 5" white cotton fabric squares so they stand out from the other quilt squares.
Sewed all the squares and rows together. Hand sewed some "fidget items" onto 1 square in every other row. For example, in one row are 2 gold angels (they have a shank on the back - like buttons) to represent his parents. In another row are 5 buttons to represent 5 people in his family.
Assembled and sewed the quilt together - the top, fiberfill middle (didn't want to use wool like I normally do just in case the quilt needs to be washed), and soft fleece backing (another texture - and the part that will be next to his body).
I secured all 3 layers together by putting yarn where the squares meet and knotting it. Not only does the yarn ensure the fiberfill stays in place, but adds another element of "fidget items" - things he can touch and manipulate as the disease progresses.

Both fun to play with and therapeutic at the same time. Great for children with sensory issues. It doesn't stick to hands...yet can stretch and squish. Small items can be hidden in it. The girls really enjoy playing with it. Made it in a variety of colors for them.
Even though the girls don't like to get their hands dirty, they LOVE playing with Oodles of Ooze. It doesn't stick to their hands and has an interesting texture. They like all the different things it can do.

...The brain has trouble interpreting data from the senses. As a result, you either get an incomplete assessment or one that is chaotic.
Sensory Storytime room setup: quiet table for hiding under and shutting out too much stimuli, big blue blocks for play time at the end, carpet squares for children to sit on, and a table of toys for play time and toys for fidgeting during storytime.
