Scrub top... all finished


All finished!  A scrub top for our nurse.  This is a really straight forward pattern.  New Look #6817.  I changed it up a bit.  I made the trim around the midriff wider and then added all the top stitching on the pindot trim.  I made my own bias trim rather than using bought because I wanted a more custom look.  I mentioned before that because of all the washing and the stress on seams, I reinforce all the seams especially the sleeves, the side seams at the pockets and also the side seams at the tie back.  Basically any places that will get a lot of stress.  The fabric is some cotton I had in my stash.  It is nothing in particular but it has a really nice hand so it worked perfectly for this purpose.  I think it came with all the fabric I got from a quilter's estate 2 years ago.

It looks pretty nice and I am sure that our daughter will get a lot of use out of it.  We will hand it over when we see her in a week.  I also made her special someone a Man-apron  or Mapron so he won't feel left out but I haven't take a picture of that yet.  It is very manly.  Just saying.

So there it is.. a scrub top finish for Friday.  Linking up with Finish it Up Friday over at Amanda Jean's.
