I made a lot of scrubs over the 42 years I was a nurse. Cotton makes great scrubs....

She would want to avoid choosing the thin/cheaper cottons. However, there are so many sturdier ones that wash and dryer-dry almost wrinkle free. Depending on her personal fussy-ness towards perfect-press, whether she would want to press.

As for the cost .... as with most clothing, sadly, home-mades become more costly than the pre-mades.
But the pre-mades I can buy for the same money aren't made nearly as well as the ones I make my myself.

For sure .... and without a doubt will last longer!

Sometimes saving a $ now, only means a total long term expense, doesn't it?
That can be said for a lot more than scrubs!

Additionally, can one put a price on the satisfaction one gets from making her own clothes and expressing her own personality?
