SCRUBUP! Is a volunteer run platform of designers and sewers. We opensource patterns for scrubs, masks and other items of clothing for novices or professionals to produce as well as facilitating you in finding the fabric and delivering the garments where they are most needed during the outbreak of COVID - 19. Scrub up! Start making the difference!

VERY IMPORTANT INFORMATION

This document contains all the instructions to draw and assemble a pair of scrubs.

For supplies: • Check our list of fabric suppliers that are still working during the outbreak to get everything you need to assemble the scrubs. For postage: • Check our list of NHS Trusts, you will find all the necessary details like the sizes they need and where to post the scrubs. Read this information carefully to avoid sending the scrubs to the wrong place, the scrubs might be infected and some hospitals have in-house laundry services but others don’t. Always check where hospitals want the scrubs to be sent. Sending infected scrubs to hospital would be counterproductive.

You can find both these lists on our Facebook Page: • Scrub Up! You can find links to our Facebook Page on our websites: • www.elliss.co.uk • www.rayonvert.international

For any questions or clarifications do not hesitate to contact us at: • [email protected]

Don’t forget to send us a picture of what you make in the following weeks, we will catalog all the pictures and make a small publication in which you will all feature!
