A friend of mine has been making scrub bags to give to the staff in care homes and I have started helping her. She has already supplied care homes in Lincoln,word has spread and she now has orders in Lincolnshire.We wondered if you could help us out by making a few.
SCRUB BAGS
A
drawstring bag 19 inches x 24 inches
Need to be made from poly cotton weight material eg old sheets, duvet covers or table cloths
They should made with a French seam - 1inch + seam
at the top
There needs to be a button hole at each seam position or open the
seam.
Approx 2 meters of washable cord for one drawstring.
These bags are used by front line carers. At the end
of the shift they put their working clothes in the bag and put the whole lot in
the washing machine.
All the nasty little bugs are contained and drowned
in soapy water!
I am really missing stitch club and hope one day we can start up again

questions
from Judith - I will make some scrub bags. How many is Ann wanting? Does she have a target number? I have looked on different web sites for ideas. One lady suggested that you make them in twos and wash them after you made them, ironed them and put them in a polythene bag so that each person was given two and that they were clean and ready to go. If you could let me know I will gladly make some and if you could let me know what to do with them after I have made them.
We have no target for bags,we just keep going while they are needed.No need to wash them just put them all together in a plastic bag.I imagine when the care home gets their order they will put them all in the wash.Sara's husband has a motor bike and is very happy to be our courier,he will come and collect the bags from your house.
