Assignment 2: DIY Culture

https://www.instructables.com/id/DIY-Accessibility

I adjusted a piece of clothing that would help my client in her every day routines because she has trouble dressing herself. The buttons on her blouses are too difficult to manipulate, which is why I created a way that would allow my client to independently dress herself. The velcro attachments are a discreet way of helping my client get ready in the morning. The velcro was not an expensive fix as it was only $6 for a roll. Also, I used materials that people may already have in their homes or inexpensive. This solution will help my client tremendously, as the buttons on shirts can take a long time for her to manage.

Materials needed: SCISSORS
Materials needed: Blouse
Materials needed: Thread and Needle
Materials needed: Velcro
Materials needed: Buttons
Step one: Cut velcro into 1/2 inch size
Step two: Cut 1/2 inch size velcro for each button located on blouse.
Step three: sew on a button onto the 1/2 inch size velcro.
Step four: Tightly sew on the button and cut off excess thread.
Step five : insert button through pre-existing hole.
Step seven: attach second piece of velcro opposite of button.
