If you use shirts to make quilts you can save button bands, and pockets with flaps to incorporate into these quilts. I've also heard the crinkly paper inserts are great "fiddlers" for anxious hands. Not sure what that paper is, but it's the same stuff they use in cat toys. It makes a crunchy, crinkly sound when touched. Bits of 'minkie' would be nice too... something soft to "pet".
