Flat-felled vertical seams

A curved yoke based on the famous "Delicate Arch"

A NEW LOOK AT MEDICAL SCRUBS
TEXTILE RESEARCH
​
The attached project illustrates my interests in textiles and sustainable alternatives. After reading the book To Dye For and realizing the environmental impact of common fabric finishes, I felt compelled to research alternatives for medical scrubs. Currently, most scrubs contain antimicrobial and stain-resistant finishes that have been shown to be toxic. For my project, I explored natural, non-toxic options like antimicrobial chitosan made from shellfish waste.
