T-shirts adapted with snaps (for pic line access)

These instructions are for making a tshirt that a baby or child can wear during chemotherapy or if they have a pic line (peripherally inserted central catheter) for any other medical reason.

What you need:

  • Tshirt (at least one size up from current size) 
  • Sewing machine
  • Snap tape, or snaps and snap setting tool

Instructions:

On the Tshirt, cut down the back and across the shoulder top of the shoulder where the pic line access is needed. Or, you can do both shoulders as I've done in this example.

Use your sewing machine's zipper foot to sew snap tape along the edges that you've just cut.


From the back: shoulder and center snaps open.


From the back: shoulders snaps open, center snaps closed.


From the back: all snaps closed.


From the front, it looks close to a normal tshirt.


On the cutest baby around, it looks like this:
