One day on the way to catch the bus to work I slipped on ice and tore a hole in my good scrub pants and skinned my knee up really good. Had to go home and change and clean up (made it to work on time PTL). I could not throw a good pair of scrubs out with only a hole in the knee. Sew, I finally stitched up a design over the hole with tear away on the back and wss on the top. What do you think? It has 14,602 stitches and came from www.amazingembroiderydesigns.com

Love the sun. Makes a nice cover-up. *4U

I use ofte such embroidery to hide a tear and so it is more nice than before *4U

Thank you. I used to just do a simple patch or zig zags with the sew mach, but now with all these kewl free designs, why go blah?! when you can go WOW! *4U2 ><>

Sorry about your accident. I am in Queensland australia and would have to pay a lot of money to go somewhere I could fall on ice. I am wondering - are scrub pants different to scrubs as are worn in hospitals?

Thank you. These are the same as I work with seniors. These scrub pants vary only in how many pockets etc they may have.... Same thing I do believe. *4U2 ><>

Clever girl, now you wear two bright Sunny smiles. hugs n roses, M

Thank you. Got the idea when someone posted about putting a butterfly (?) over a spot on a t-shirt(Shirlene was that you?) *4U ><>

Fabulous idea. I had a stitching boo-boo where the hem came up and got caught in my pattern. Cut it away and was left with a lovely "C" hole. Selected a "pocket topper" design since it had a flat bottom, and presto... the hole was gone!
