Then I have tubs and tubs of material and ribbon and patterns and blanks all over the place. It makes him INSANE. Space isn't a concern..

I'll start out with something in a cotton and see how she likes it before I go crazy. Plus I won't be able to fit her because it'll be a surprise, so hopefully I can wing it. And yes, I do use patterns for most clothing. I do make purses and twirl skirts without patterns, but that's where my expertise ends.

At least you know how to use it. Me and my husband have 2 sewing machines and bolts of material and threads and NO ONE here knows how to sew. My sister and mother also all own sewing machines and yet they don't know how to work them. Our friend was going to teach us but she moved away hahah.

We keep saying we are going to take a class but we haven't done it yet. Tell your husband that theres 4 morons on the planet with all the stuff you've got and don't even know how to use it. That should make him feel better about all your tubs.

Fabric stores like Joann Fabrics has $1.99 patterns sales all the time. Almost every pattern company has some scrub patterns. You can also find a lot of them on Ebay at a decent price.

I had thought about making scrubs and selling them on ebay, but I need a better sewing machine and I want a serger too. hehe

I've been wondering if it was. I see such great fabrics at the store sometimes, and I'm guessing since so many practically live in their scrubs, they want some variety. My background is in the craft business so it's always thinking of ideas like this hehe!
