Scrubs

Has anyone ever made scrub sets and have a recommendation for a pattern ?

I wear scrubs for work and up until now they have been supplied to us free but the NHS being in the state it is the ones we have  are now deemed "too expensive" and the alternative wouldn't fit anyone properly it's so badly designed our manager has agreed that if we want to continue wearing scrubs  that halfway fit then we can buy them ourselves but I thought I might see if I could make some. Ideally I would like some with a bit of shaping.

I could cut up an old pair I guess and make a pattern but if I can get one I would prefer that, I have seen a simplicity pattern but it wasn't really what I was looking for, I would like plain straight trousers with an elasticated waist and a fairly plain top but with some darts or other shaping

I've made the New Look 6876. It was the first thing I made when I returned to sewing and before I knew about Full bust adjustment, so it gaped in the chest area. Even after a FBA, I would still wear a tshirt underneath, as it's quite low.

Easy to make though.
Procrastination get behind me

Someone has asked Jalie if they would add scrubs to their next pattern release. They seemed to be responsive to the idea but it'll be some time before they appear. Might be worth checking in 6 or 9 months though.
Hopefully back more regularly! Ballroom sewing may be permanently paused but bag making is the current focus.
