Scrub Top

Firstly, I never knew how much fun it would be to make a scrub top. ^-^ As a Christmas present for my sister-in-law, my parents-in-law asked me to make a Realtree scrub top. The scrub was both easier and harder than I imagined (the pattern altering and fitting that is). But to get to the bottom line, I'm proud of it! And as an added bonus, my sister-in-law loves it too! She wore it the first day back to work, and I've been told there are many envious nurses. Thanks for the sewing opportunity!
