Finally. Now I can sew stuff for me. Yippee!
I mentioned in a previous post that I made a mistake cutting the fabric for one of the scrubs, I believe I managed to make my
fuc booboo part of an interesting design. It has turned out to be one of my favorites. Strange how that happens. Anyway, I cut the back of the top too short. I have the pattern for scrubs on cardboard so I don't have to dig out a pattern and press it etc every time I sew a scrub top. The cardboard doesn't come long enough, so I just add 3 inches to the bottom of the front and back of each. For this top I forgot, and much cursing and foul language ensued. It finally came to me to get some plain black cotton and add a border along the bottom and the sleeved edges. It doesn't look like I
fuc screwed it up, does it?

I just love how this one turned out. |
And here is the completed Superman scrub.
This one is so perfect for The Husband. Left to his own devices he would eat exactly like a four year old, so this fabric is ideal, and loud. He likes that too.

This is a close up of the fabric-notice on the right side, the almost perfect pattern match on the pocket. |

It is a happy print, isn't it? |
Now I get to sew fun stuff for me. I think I will make The Tablecloth Skirt next. I was going to make it from taffeta, but someone fell in like with it and I gave it to her. I have since found an interesting linen and cotton blend in black and white, it was only $5 a meter, so I bought 6 meters of it. It's a lot I know, but I really like it. Anyway, wish me luck. Photos to follow.
Nice post.........nurses scrubs
ReplyDeleteWell, scrubs may be old news to you but they're new to us! I love the black-banded one, and the other prints are hilarious.
ReplyDeleteHave fun with your linen & cotton blend! Can't wait to see the skirt. :D
Thank you! I have made around 35 of these things, so you can see why sewing them is a little less than thrilling. I black bordered one is my favorite too, maybe even of all of them.
DeleteHow amazingly awesome is the junk food print - I have some of this too and it's calling out to be sewn into something! I haven't decided what yet though. And thanks a million for your comment on how the different dye's react with fibres - I love these info tidbits :) I'll definitely try the Procion MX dye if I can get my hands on some.
ReplyDeleteGreat scrubs. I really like the black boarder, it kind of frames the print.
