There are 6-9 pages to print out depending on the size top. I made a size medium the pattern has since been graded to XS – 2XL and has had a few tweaks. While I have a reasonable collection of fabric to draw from, there isn’t much in the “plain cottons” department, and I can hardly use sequinned lace or crushed velvet. I found some suitable fabric in my stash but unfortunately there was only enough for a top, not pants as well. One of the advantages of zero waste is that when we waste no fabric, we get the full use of what we do have. There are extra seams in this top which one wouldn’t normally have – centre back seam, central sleeve seams and pocket seams, however, the trade-off is a top that’s extremely economical on fabric (this one took 58cm x 2m). If you’re bored to tears with sewing scrubs, this might be the antidote! The instructions are brief, however if you’re familiar with sewing scrubs and how they go together, you’ll be fine. This pattern is very unlike a traditional pattern, even if you’re used to printable PDF patterns. I’m fascinated that two patternmakers living on opposite sides of the Earth both endeavoured to make zero waste scrubs, took very different approaches, and produced such different-looking patterns which are still recognizably scrubs. The free scrub pattern I did last week led me to Danielle Elsener of DECODECODECODE’s zero waste scrubs, and I thought I’d give them a go.
