When our daughter was young I made her a lot of dresses. Lots of dresses. Then she grew up. Now she is a nurse and every now and again I get a phone call and she tells me that I haven't made her any scrub tops for awhile. So I got right on that. I really like making scrub tops. I shouldn't say that out loud but it is a little bit like making little girl sundresses. You can get a little creative and it is okay. For this one I made my own bias trim out of the blue pin dot. I also heavily top stitched all the pin dot trim. It looks snazzy. I think she will like it. Scrub tops need lots of reinforcing in the seams because they get washed a lot and the pockets will get used a lot.
And other works in progress include all of this on the design wall. From the left, Depression blocks from That Stash Bee, Road to Fortune scrap buster blocks and my Lucky Stars Block of the Month blocks.
Linking up with the Needle and Thread Network . And I am back to school this evening for a meeting! Phew.
My daughter asked me just last week if I would make her some scrubs. I will remember top stitch!
ReplyDeleteThat is the nicest scrub top I've ever seen, lovely work!
ReplyDeleteHow nice that you can do that for your daughter. I'm sure she'll love it.
ReplyDeleteI love the design wall! Very interesting.
ReplyDeleteI will remember the tips for the scrubs. Right now, my daughter's scrubs are supplied, because she is a temp. Once she finishes with school and becomes a full fledged nurse, I can make her some lovely scrubs like the one you did there for your daughter.
Everyone will want your daughter to check on them so they can see the pretty fabrics : ) lovely blocks too
ReplyDeleteYour daughter will have the most stylin' scrubs around!
ReplyDeletehey your lucky stars BOM are all the same fabircs unlike mine which are just what came to my hand and i liked...it is so interesting having a look at how other people work...small glimpse into thier mind maybe
ReplyDeleteAm I glad my daughter is not working as a nurse anymore since the scrubs I made her where very blah compared to yours. Your blocks are one nicer than the other!
ReplyDeleteNice scrub top, you workaholic high achiever!
ReplyDeleteWOW WOW WOW! How lucky is your daughter to have you to make some gorgeous scrub tops - I wish the nurses here would wear something that was a lot more cheerier than green.
ReplyDeleteLove how your 3 quilts are coming along, esp. the Road to fortune!
