for the amount of fabric in a scrub top, or pants, when I can afford even an extra dollar or two, I go to our little thrift store, where one dollar buys me either a top, or britches.. Sometimes, the same store has a large garbage bag to fill for only $2.00, and thats where I go and find all the scrubs I can find that are in good shape.. I take them home, cut them up along the seams, and find myself with tons more scraps than if I was to just cut up a regular blouse, and such.. lose alot of the fabric where you have to cut button areas, or zippers, and collars and such..
