One more extended tube top / scoliosis brace cover / body sock. Chose your label. This is an undergarment that I can wear under the brace and turn it up from the bottom to cover the velcro straps and hopefully protect my clothing that I wear over the brace. I copied the genius design from Brace Buddies, they get all the credit. I highly recommend their products, I'm just trying to use up the stash and make a few at home.
Sewing IS Political
This is another Canadian made and tariff free project. I should also mention that my inspiration from Brace Buddies is also a Canadian company--Go Canada! The fabric is a cotton knit French terry from Marshall Fabrics, a Canadian fabric outlet. The fabric scissors used to cut this fabric is a product from Taiwan, purchased from Fabricland, another Canadian fabric outlet. The threads were pulled from the stash, all Gütermann Threads. The cotton thread used in the sewing machine was made in Greece. The polyester thread used in the serger was made in the U.S.A. purchased prior to the boycott.
