HOW ARE YOUR SASSY SCRUBS MADE?
We thought you’d love to learn how your custom Sassy Scrubs are made, one garment at a time, for each and every customer. Here’s how…
Other Garment Manufacturers
Many common garments are made in noisy, dusty factories. Poorly paid seamstresses hunch over clanking machines or control huge “stamp-out” fabric cutting machines which cut dozens of pattern pieces at once. This kind of clothing production often occurs in a foreign factory, off-shore, where impact on the local environment, safe working conditions and worker concerns aren’t even a blip on the company’s radar. Customer service?…Non-Existent. Custom options?…Impossible. Special lengths?…Nope. It’s a frightening business, with no attention given to either the needs of the worker or the customer.
Where is Sassy Scrubs?
At Sassy Scrubs, we have a completely different attitude. We are nestled in beautiful New York State, far from any large city, and all of our scrubs garments are made right here in the USA. Every garment we produce is made for each and every customer right here in our shop.
Each customer chooses his or her own scrubs fabrics from hundreds of fabrics available at Sassy Scrubs. Next, our customer chooses their pocket, length and neck options, so they each receive a well fitting uniform which fits their lifestyle, their individual interests, and their own unique body needs as well as their work needs. Once the customer completes the design process, Sassy Scrubs takes over.
Processing Your Scrubs Order
Once we receive your order at Sassy Scrubs, we review it, looking for any unintentional ordering errors. For instance, we want to be sure you really intended to order a Maternity Scrub Top along with your other Men’s print Scrub Tops. Maybe your address is Nevada and your order lists heavy flannel Scrub Pants in August. As part of our customer care, we might email you to be sure that you really want to be warmer than you already are in the middle of the desert. Once reviewed, your order sent on its way to our Fabric Cutting Department.
Hand Cutting Your Scrubs Order
In our Cutting Department, Sassy Scrubs staff locates the fabrics you’ve selected in your order. Our own company patterns for the scrubs garment you selected are placed on the scrubs fabric, aligned properly with the fabric grain so that your completed garment will hang properly. Our Cutting Department staff use a special cutting tool, called a Rotary Cutter – kind of like a really sharp pizza cutter – to slice around the outline of the pattern to create the garment pieces necessary. If needed, our patterns are adjusted to your specific requests at this time. For instance, we adjust our patterns if a shorter or taller hem is ordered; if you request long sleeves on your Medical Scrubs Tops and for your specialty inseam for your Basic Scrub Pants is required. Every scrubs order is examined closely by our Fabric Cutters to be certain that your unique scrubs requirements are realized. Now, the Fabric Cutter places all the pattern pieces, including the size and care tags appropriate for that particular garment into a package – ready to be transferred to our Sassy Scrubs Sewing Department.
Sewing Your Scrubs Garment
Our specially trained Seamstresses complete each garment, one at a time. They each care about the tiny details which make your uniform garment unique. They care that the pockets on your tops are straight, level, and backstitched for durability. They care about ensuring that your pants drawcord is securely sewn down on the back seam of your scrubs pants so that it won’t pull out during laundering. Each uniform garment is expertly sewn, carefully and individually, by only one seamstress…your seamstress. Since she “owns” your scrubs, every Seamstress takes extra pride in how she completes “her” garments…just for you. So, who do you think receives the benefits from all of this supreme attention to detail? You do!
Inspecting Your Scrubs
To pass through Inspection, each uniform is pressed and final measurements are take to ensure your garment meets the specific parameters necessary. No uniform garment can be approved if it has more than a specific variance in circumference from our customer size chart. No scrubs can pass inspection if the length does not equal what was ordered by our customer. Tags for size must match the size garment you requested. Care tags must equal directions for the specific fabric you ordered. Our Inspectors are required to be completely familiar with all of our hundreds of fabrics so the name of the fabric can be verified with what you have selected. Inspection is a crucial step, since it is our last opportunity to spot any errors before your scrubs are packaged and shipped out to you. Due to the experience and attention to detail of our Garment Inspectors, our errors are minimal and our customer happiness is high!
The Personality of Sassy Scrubs
At Sassy Scrubs, we provide a supreme level of specialty services to all customers and our staff takes that commitment seriously – from our Ordering Department to our Fabric Cutters and Seamstresses to our Garment Inspectors. But we’re all about serious business at Sassy Scrubs.
Our staff in our Cutting Department sing while they work! Our Production Department has various jigsaw puzzles spread out in our lunch room for friendly jigsaw competitions, often hiding pieces from each other, to insure “their” puzzle is completed first. We regularly enjoy pizza Fridays and picnic cookouts and, of course, enjoy Birthday celebrations for every staff member. We teach each other new crafts and often cut out quilt squares from our left over scrap fabric at break and lunch, helping the quilters in our group. So, we have bunches of fun here at Sassy Scrubs, but the best fun for us is the pleasure we take in creating a quality product for each of our customers. Each staff member “owns” his or her job, and performs all their duties with you, our valued customer, in mind. Our customers see this in the quality and detail apparent in their garments, and they tell us about their satisfaction with glowing compliments.
