Request for materials to make NHS scrubs

At this challenging time for the NHS, a former M&S colleague of Paschal Little and Ian Morris, both ASBCI members, is organising to make vitally needed scrubs, with a group of volunteers she is connected with in Buckinghamshire.

She has asked the ASBCI for help to source the following materials as soon as possible: –

Fabrics and other related materials

1. Woven fabric (Navy or blue 50 – 100m): 115/120g/m2 65/35 poly cotton, but 60/40 would also do. Pre-shrunk please, as it has to be washed at 60 deg C+
2. Around 50m of elastic, herringbone tape, approx. 2cm width
3. Sewing thread – 10 reels of poly/cotton, colour navy or blue

Printing of cutting patterns

The master cutting pattern would be supplied, can any ASBCI member offer to print patterns to distribute to the group of volunteers?

Could any ASBCI member(s) who can help this week on any of the above please send an email to: –
