Scrub fabric

You want a broadcloth or lightweight poplin. Are you looking for solids or prints? Solids would be really easy --

When I am looking for a particular fabric to purchase, I always add "yard" or "yards" or "yardage" to the name of the fabric to cut through the forest of RTW items made from that fabric and actually find the fabric vendors.

This site has some interesting fabrics, a lot of 100% cotton, which need some ironing but are great looking. They would make great looking scrubs because they are cheerful and nontraditional. If I were still wearing hospital clothing I'd love the look of them with white or color coordinated pants.

My local JoAnn Fabric has poly-cotton blend they sell as "scrub fabric" it's durable and easy to clean. I used it to make lots of scrubs for my SS who works in a hospital lab. The online source shows only two colors, but check you store:

When I've been through the operating or day surgery theartres (and it's been multiple times in the past few years) I've noted that many of the scrubs the staff in the unit were wearing where the same as some of the all cotton quilting fabrics I'd seen and some of whihc I even had in my stash. I

was impressed because they were all the bright kids type fabrics - multi colour pussy cats/frogs etc and I thought they might have got them with kids and the trauma they must experience at these alien creatures in mind. And as for ironing - nah! All obviously went to the hospital laundry and were just poorly folded and kept in a cupboard fro retrieval as clen ones were needed.

Thanks everybody. I'll just let her pick whatever she wants. It will be a few months before she needs them anyway. I had thought about quilting cottons, some are so beautiful. I have made her a tote from Amy Butler fabrics.

I have seen the scrub type fabrics at Wal Mart. Barbara in FL
