I comb the local Goodwills often. I am finding some really nice fabric on scrubs. They are cheerful, unique, and usually 100% cotton. I try to go for the non-faded, larger sizes to get the most fabric I can for the bucks! Just a budget-friendly idea!
|
That IS a great idea! I have seen some of the CUTEST scrubs, our vet ladies always have adorable ones!
|
I have goodwill withdraw, I haven't been in a long time, need to go!
|
I remember someone on the board made and entire quilt out of a family member's scrubs. It was very cute and colourful.
|
I'm semi-retired. I can't wait to turn all my scrubs into quilts!!! Great idea by the way-the fabric is sturdy cotton and really does come in some neat patterns. One more reason to count the days til full retirement (oh about 5 more yrs!!)
|
I've been scavanging Goodwill, Salvation Army, garage sales and estate sales for 100% cotton clothing in good shape. I've also recently realized that I can use woven belts for tote bag handles. Those are usually really cheap everywhere. I just take them apart and roll them up for later use.
|
What a great idea for those belts that I'll never fit into again!! :lol:

I, too, scour the thrift stors and have found great fabrics, both yard goods and cotton clothing. LOVE Senior Discount day: Mon. for Unique, Tues. for ARC and Wed. for Savers. Once in a while our ARC stores have clothing for 99 cents on a Saturday - that's when I 'stock up', especially on the cute scrubs. Recycling at it's finest!

Scrubs also make really cute aprons for little girls!

I have 8 months to go before I retire my scrubs. I have been slowly getting my co-workers to sign squares of white fabric and I will be making a quilt for myself from the scrubs I have worn over the years incorporating their signatures. This will be my retirement gift to myself.
