This is the women’s/ more fitted version of the scrub top, we are making.
We’ve combined the Jijaka fabric with a black cotton/spandex blend for comfort.
We prefer using cotton as much as possible for the climate in Qld, and the spandex helps the garment keep its shape.
There are 3 pockets on this one, 2 side pockets on the side panels and one top pocket in the front panel.

We make scrubs from First Nations Jijaka fabric from Spotlight.
Spotlight have partnered with First Nations artists to make a quilting range of fabrics. Unfortunately this fabric is not produced in Australia.
And I have been approached to make Scrubs from this fabric.
The reasons are twofold:
1. It is hoped by using First Nations artwork, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander patients will feel more at ease with what is generally a pretty frightening situation in a predominantly white medicine environment.
2. These designs are awesome.

So here’s the thing, yes I am profiting from First Nations people. And believe me, I have spent an inordinate amount of time deliberating over this.
I have to trust that Spotlight partnered ethically with the artist as they have with other quilting artists to produce quilting fabrics.
But.
I also need to be paid for my time. So the scrubs will be $85, $35 for the fabric and $50 for my time. The scrubs take a couple of hours to make so that pays me $25 an hour for my time and my overheads.
But still there’s an element of ‘colonialism’ to all of this. So I will donate $10 for every pair of Scrubs made from fabric designed by First Nation Artists to Sisters Inside. An organisation that does pretty awesome work with First Nations and other women both inside and outside prison.
