May we proudly introduce Sophie’s Story’s newest venture:
Sophie’s Super-suits 💫💛
ADAPTED BODYSUITS 🫶
Sophie’s Super-suits are adapted to accommodate low-profile gastrostomy/jejunostomy/gastro-jejunostomy buttons and/or percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) tubes.
If you have a child who has a feeding device fitted, and who wears bodysuits, you will understand how frustrating it can be to source affordable, adaptive clothing that accommodates the device.
We found the cost of adaptive clothing (bodysuits) was quite frankly ridiculous (in our opinion). There was also very limited choice in terms of patterns and colours. At times we physically cut holes in Sophie’s vests (see picture) to allow us to access her button – that was, until my Mum stepped in and offered to adapt some of her vests for us.
We will source bodysuits from reputable high street clothing stores, adapt the suit to suit the needs of a feeding device and then sell the suit at an affordable cost. All profits made will go to Sophie’s Story and/or be used to source more materials.
Initially, we will be looking to stock vests from 9 months to 4 years old. Our understanding is that feeding devices are not generally fitted until a child is over 12 months old, and bodysuits for children over 4 years old are not as easy to source. That said, if you have a request for a specific size or item, then we would love to hear from you.
ORDERING🛍️
We will begin taking orders at the end of October, but until then you can register your interest or ask questions via email at: [email protected], or send us a message on Facebook.
Information on how to place an order will be made available nearer the time.
SEWING TEAM /VOLUNTEERS🪡🧵
Would you like to be part of our sewing team?
We are looking for talented individuals who would be happy to give up some of their time to support a good cause.
Materials will be provided, but sewing experience is essential, as the adaptation needs to be finished to a high standard. So, if you know your way around a sewing machine and feel like you could help, then please get in touch on the above email address.
