Keep in mind, too, that scrubs usually need to be made of a material that can be washed in hot water, often, to remove 'stuff' picked up in a doctor's office or hospital. Blood, for example does not come out of cotton well. The only place I can think of to use it MIGHT be in receptionist clothing.

I made my own scrubs from quilters' cotton fabrics; I always had scrubs that no one else had. And, yes, they need to be ironed -- but that's not a problem, as I got to iron my lovely fabric again!

Thanks so much everyone for your input on ironing and stains. My friend is a PT so blood and other stains are not a factor. I myself wear only cotton and linen so ironing is not an issue. I'll pass on the information. :0)
PS One seam leads to another.... I found an easy beginner quilt kit on sale at Craftsy to give her an opportunity to try quilting.

Made my own scrub tops for years from regular quilting cotton. Sure a little wrinkly BUT you see them after a very busy shift. My scrub wearing Nursing days are done, but still make blouses from quilt cotton.
