Scrub Patterns For Doctors and Nurses

I was at a party the other day and met this guy who was so super fun! He also looks exactly like the new lead singer of Journey but that’s another story.

Anyway, he was telling me that 7 out of 12 kids (or something like that as there was some wine involved) in his family are in the medical field. His sister who is a nurse decided that every one of them needed fun new uniforms, so she went and sewed up a whole slew of scrubs in super fun fabrics. What a fabulous idea (and for a post) I thought!

McCalls has a simple scrub pattern M3253 that features a few different styles. Pair it with some cool (oooh poca dots!) or wacky fabric (for the Holidays!) from fabric.com and the possibilities for fashionable or at the very least, kitschy scrubs are endless.

I am just smitten with this felt gingerbread house bag. This would make such a sweet special Christmas accessory for a kid. It’s a free pattern at Benzie Design, designed by Gracie from Hello Gracie Makes. It’s packed with adorable gingerbread house details, like swirls and stripes and scallops adoring the doors and windows.

And while all those details might seem like this would be a complicated pattern, it’s actually not. The bag itself is made from felt, which makes finishes edges unnecessary. (All of those scalloped edges are just cut from felt, no edge finishing required.) The strap is super simple, made from rope with knotted ends. And all those details are made with some basic hand embroidery stitches. Sparkle felt makes it extra cute.

The striped scallop roof is actually the top flap of the bag. A magnetic snap makes it a secure closure. The rope straps are attached through felt loops at the side of the bag.

They rate this project as an intermediate level, and it should take about 6 hours to make start to finish. That’s doable for a Saturday project or a couple of evenings. Full color photos step you through the entire process.

The project includes a shopping list for all of your supplies. They’ve got a shop so you can order all of them from Benzie if you like and get exactly the supplies used in the project. I noticed it includes a pair of scallop shears, which makes cutting all the scalloped edges for the roof and around the door a breeze.

Finished dimensions of the little felt gingerbread bag are approximately 6 ½” wide x 7 ½” tall. That’s the perfect size to hold a small book, a small toy, or a notepad and some cute pens.
