Scrub Patterns For Doctors and Nurses

June 19, 2008 by candi canncel

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.

Easy Cosmetics Bag Sewing Pattern

The bag is simple, uses very little fabric (about 2/3rds of a fat quarter), has no fussy inside pockets (although you can add your own if you like), and takes me well less than 30 minutes to print the pattern, cut out and sew. But quick and simple doesn’t mean it’s not awesome!

It’s the sort of bag that is versatile enough to be used for lots of applications, not just cosmetics and toiletries. Keep all your pens and pencils in order, use it for a small first aid kit for the car, keep it in your desk at work for a few headache pills and other personal supplies.

Make some for yourself, for gifts or to sell.
