About the event
At the April 27, 2022, program meeting, I will be introducing you to fidget mats. A fidget mat is used to provide Alzheimer’s patients with an activity mat which provides tactile and sensory experiences, and it incorporates many of the basic activities, i.e., zippers, buttons, and lacing, found in a toddler learning mat. We will make our mats somewhat larger than place mats, but smaller than a lap quilt, using upholstery or décor fabrics, corduroys, flannels, etc., for the base. You can use batting scraps, flannel, old sheets, and/or ugly fabrics as your batting. (12”x18” - 15”x24”) For things to add, please collect all that random stuff in your sewing room that you want to get rid of, such as: larger beads and buttons, lace, empty spools (thread, ribbon, serger), ribbons, zippers, rattles or baby toys, small stuffed animals, pockets (from cast off jeans or shirts), lace ups, shirt fronts…
