What you’ll make
Sew a practical short-sleeve scrub top with a V-neck, small side slits, two roomy lower patch pockets, and one chest pocket.
The standard fit is comfortable without being close or especially oversized. The V-neck and back-neck facing form the most detailed area of the project.
For additional hands-free storage, pair it with the Bari Belt Bag.
What you’ll learn in this class
- Stabilize curved and diagonal edges.
- Prepare, position, and reinforce patch pockets.
- Construct the V-neck and back-neck facing.
- Ease and insert the short sleeves.
- Sew clean side slits.
- Finish the sleeve, slit, and lower hems.
Fabric and materials
The samples are sewn in poplin. Other woven fabrics are also suitable, allowing you to choose according to the job and the garment’s care needs.
Make it your own
- Divide a large pocket to organize small items.
- Move the chest pocket or add another one.
- Size up by one or two sizes for a looser fit.
- Choose straight, twin-needle, zigzag, or decorative hems.
