Adaptive clothing for veterans who lost their limbs in the war or received other serious injuries is made by applicants of the SCLR community support program during sewing training at "Sewing Space" in Novodnistrovsk.
This is reported by molbuk.ua.
Volunteers themselves invent models to make it convenient for hospital patients. The convenience of adaptive clothing is that it is unbuttoned on the side, along the seam of a T-shirt or shorts, so that a bandage can be made.
"We send clothes all over Ukraine. Once a nurse from a hospital approached us and asked us to sew pockets for drips and drainage systems to the underwear so that the guys wouldn't hold them in their hands. That's how we started creating adaptive transforming clothes," says the dressmaker Olena Ilyashenko.
Thanks to this initiative, the unemployed, primarily forced migrants, have the opportunity to learn how to sew on modern equipment for future employment or self-employment.
