Wardrobe sewing plans for july

Hoho, my sewing patterns ordered from sewingpatterns.com finally arrived yesterday night... I can't wait to start sewing new apparels for my wardrobe;) too bad I still need to work till July 20th then I can be officially declared as a housewife. And I also have tailoring jobs for my fellow cosplayers to complete as well... So here's the plans for July. Hope I can finish them as scheduled. Try my best;)

Surgery date is confirmed

Yes! After a huge woohaa on the kiv postponing of the op date by prof vasala, they finally decided to proceed with the surgery as planned. What a huge relief... And my application for financial assistance is also approved by the medical social worker. So from now on, the fees after subsidies from the government, there is still an additional 80% subsidy from the medifund. So for yesterday psy appointment at Nuh, I only paid $6 for the consultation fee. Of course, if they have approved it earlier, I will be able to save more than 1-2k on the pre op investigations charges though. Watever, better than nothing right.
Yesterday psy appointment is quite interesting o, it is actually a standard protocol for all donors to go through a psy assessment to deem whether they are fit to consent to the surgery, not because I have any mental problems ( in case you are wondering). The psy dr asked me a lot of questions and even tested my short term and long term memory. I still remember the 3 words apple table pen. ( I am quite afraid that I will forget n keep repeating it in my mind while the dr continue to ask tons of questions) the dr is very nice n friendly though, so the assessment went very smoothly n of course, I am deemed fit for the consent of the surgery. Now I am only left with the ethics meeting on my birthday, a appt with my surgeon dr tiong cos he haven decided on which kidney to take yet, an appt with a independent kidney dr and a dentist. I hated dentist all my life, hope that he won't force me to extract my left embedded wisdom tooth pre op... Cos there a tini winy decaying part in the embedded portion. Lol.

I missed my babies +++ cos they are now staying at my mum's place from mon to sat as I am working. So here are 2 cute pics of them.

Cosplay costume tutorial part 2-obi

Today I will be covering on the obi sash which is super easy peasy. Materials u need:
Dark blue poplin 1m
Interfacing (I prefer iron on type cos of laziness;p)
The measurements for the sash will be your waist measurement plus 10-20 cm more for closure allowance for the length and 18-20 cm depending on yr preference for the width. Cut this rectangle on fold so that will make it double layer n iron on the interfacings. For the interfacing u can use light weight to medium weight. If you used interfacings that is too stiff, the obi sash will not look n fit nicely on, n avoid papery types as that will cause ugly paper crease on the sash as well.
Next, sew along the seam allowances along the length and turn the wrong sides in forming a tube shape. Next, fold the width sides seam allowances in, press and sew.
Now for the gathers, you can use the remnant fabric n cut into strips of 8 cms (seam allowance of 2 cm included) fold the strips lengthwise n press. Hem the raw edges n baste 2 rows of stitches within the seam allowance of the raw edges. Pull the 2 top stitches to gather the strips. Adjust the gathers n spread them evenly. Then u can sew the gathers to the main sash. The base is done. You can either finish the closure using Velcro or snaps. And paint on the white designs on the sash. I have cut out the white dress pattern pcs n will touch on it I'm tml tutorial post. Keep a look out for them n hope all this info helps. Do pardon mi for the limited pics cos I actually blogs using my iPhone. Not much functions available for iPhone blogging apps. Any queries feel free to email me;) n do help mi click on my google ads! I am 3/4 of the way to receiving my next cheque payment! Thanks in advance!
