Included Adaptive Add-on: Sensory Sensitivity + Pregnancy Waistbands
An alternative to the regular elastic waistband, these stretchy-knit waistbands may be helpful for those with sensory sensitivities such as not tolerating elastic at the waist, or simply for greater comfort.
The pregnancy waistband is essentially same as the sensory waistband, with more height for additional coverage. The pregnancy version can be worn full height or folded over.
These adaptive pattern pieces are supplied in Print-at-Home, A0 Copyshop and Projector format.
