Izazov - broj 2/Challenge - number 2

Prošle nedelje sam bila ubeđena da ovu priču neću napisati, ali sam odlučila da moram. 

Ideju sam imala još odavno i posle kraja prvog izazova sam odmah htela da počnem sa drugim (ovim) izazovom, ali se svašta toga izdešavalo i uz nedostatak vremena, cela priprema ove priče se otegla.

Uz to sam čekala da prođe 8. aprila, da odem na Stoffencircus (vašar materijal), na kojem još nikad nisam bila i bila sam pripremljena da ako mi se nešto svidi, da ću da se počastim pa nije bilo smisla pisati priču pre i onda prekršiti izazov.

Ali, sad sam spremna. 

Last week I was convinced that I will not ever write this story, but I decided to do it.

The idea I had long ago and after the end of the first challenge I immediately wanted to start with the second (this) challenge, but a lot went wrong and with the lack of time, the whole preparation of this story lasted until today.

In addition, I was waiting to April 8, to go to Stoffencircus (fair of fabrics), on which I have never been and I was prepared to buy something if I like it, so it did not make sense to write this story before and then to break the challenge.

But I'm ready now.

Naime, ja konstantno kupujem materijale.

Ne kupujem svakodnevno, ali kad kupujem, onda i preteram. Samo u martu sam iz Novog Sada došla sa 20-30 novih materijala (Zatvara se moja omiljena prodavnica.) za razne odevne predmete, a na pomenutom Stoffencircus-u sam kupila 9. To znači da sam samo u tih mesec dana kupila oko 40 metara raznoraznik tkanina.

Počela sam da pravim listu materijala ne bih li imala pregled koliko i šta imam na zalihama, ali sam posustala. Previše je, predala sam se, tako da je ostalo samo da procenim cifru. A po mojoj proceni, u mojom zalihama je oko 250 metara materijala. To je previše, čak i za mene.

Druga strašna stvar je da veliki broj materijala je tu u zalihama godinama, obično kupim 5 novih, a od toga od 2 sašijem nešto, a ostalo ostaje i gomila se.

Trenutno sam došla do situacije da imam previše i ideja koje već odavno nisam realizovala, imam i novih ideja, a malo šta stižem (kupili smo kuću pa je renoviramo, učim nemački, obavljam sve i svašta, a vreme leti), tako da mi se i ideje gomilaju. 

Ovih dana pokušavam da se organizujem, sredim sobu za šivenje, u fazi sam i pakovanja nekih stvari (kao što su materijali za zimske stvari jer se nadam da ćemo se do tada već preseliti pa ovde gde sam sada neću njih više šiti), a danas sam već postala jako nervozan jer je previše toga, a ja ne mogu to postići. Ja inače sporo i detaljno šijem, a sad sam već i ljuta na samu sebe jer je to tako i ne mogu tu ništa. Svesna sam koliko mogu, a i trenutni uslovi su takvi da mogu još manje nego inače.

Specifically, I constantly buy fabrics.

I don't buy every day, but when I buy, then I exaggerate. Only in March, I came from Novi Sad with 20-30 new fabrics (my favorite fabric store closes), and I bought 9 more at the Stoffencircus. That means I bought about 40 meters of various fabrics in one month.

I started to make the list of fabrics in my stock because I wanted to have a review how many I have until now, but I gave up. It's too much, I gave up, so it was just a question of estimating it. And in my estimation, in my stock is about 250 meters of fabrics. That's too much, even for me.

The other terrible thing is that a large number of fabrics have been in stock for years, usually, I buy 5 new ones, of which from 2 I made something, and the rest is accumulating.

At the moment I have come also to the situation that I have too many ideas that I haven't realized for a long time, I have some new ideas, and achieve very little od that (we bought a house so we renovate it, I learn German, do some other things, ...) and ideas are just more and more - I'm losing in them.

These days I try to organize myself, I'm making order in my sewing room and packing some things (like winter fabrics, because I hope we'll move until fall, so I will not sew them here anymore), and today I have become very nervous because there is too much to sew, and I can't accomplish all. I am slow and detailed in sewing, and I am now angry at myself because it is so. I know how much I can, and under current conditions, I could make even less than usual.

Zbog svega navedenog, započinjem novi izazov, a tiče se kupovine materijala.

Neka početak izazova bude 1. maj i pokušaću od toga datuma narednih godinu dana da ne kupim niti jedan metar materijala.

Naravno, mogu da kupim sve ono dodatno što je potrebno za sašiti određeni predmet, a to se odnosi na postavu, rajsfešlus, dugmad, sve vrste traka, ...

Na kraju, ipak se veselim ovom koraku.

Because of all this, I start a new challenge, in terms of purchasing materials.

Let the start of the challenge be May 1 and I try from that date one year not to buy even one meter of fabric.

Of course, I can buy everything that's needed to make a certain garment, such as lining, zipper, buttons, all kinds of bias tape and similar, ...

Finally, I'm looking forward to this step.

Uspela sam da napravim po koju sliku mojih materijala, koje ćete videti u nastavku. 

To su samo neki izabrani ili oni koji su bili bolji nego drugi za slikanje, neki čekaju godinama, a neki su tek kupljeni (mada one najsvežije nisam slikala). Među ovima ima mojih omiljenih materijala, ali ni ja ne znam što od njih nisam nešto sašila.

Ovde su prikazani samo materijali sa motivima, jednobojne sam izostavila jer nisu zanimljivi koliko ovi u nastavku prikazani.

I managed to make a few photos of my fabrics, which you will see below.

These are just some of them, or those who were better than others for taking photos, some of them are in stock for years, and some are just bought (although I forget most recently purchased). Among these are some of my favorites, but I don't know why they are still in this form.

Only fabrics with motives are shown here, I omitted monochrome fabrics because they are not as interesting as the following ones.

Materijali za haljine su u mojim zalihama najbrojniji. Ja obožavam haljine i kao što sam već mnogo puta napominjala, one su najbrojnije u mom ormaru. 

The fabrics for the dresses are in my inventory the most numerous. I worship dresses and as I have mentioned many times, they are the most numerous in my wardrobe.

 

Samo neki od materijala za kapute i jakne, s tim da sam nedavno kupila još tri nova.

Just some of the materials for coats and jackets, with the fact that I recently bought three more.

Materijali za suknje

Fabrics for skirts

Materijale za pantalone sam izostavila jer su uglavnom jednobojni.

I have left out fabrics the pants because they are mostly monochrome.

Materijali za bluze i košulje

Fabrics for blouses and shirts

I za kraj, materijali za kupaće kostime kojima se neizmerno radujem (poslednji je za mog supruga).

Finally, fabrics for swimsuits, which I look forward to (the last one is for my husband).

Od početka ove godine sam kupovala i materijale za donji veš (skubu, čipku, ...) koje nisam prikazala ovde, a u zalihama imam jos i materijala za džempere, veste, nešto i od trikotaže, ...

Since the beginning of this year I have also bought the fabrics for underwear (scuba, lace, ...) that I didn't show here, and in stock, have some more for a pullover, vest ...

Sve u svemu, previše je...

All in all, it's too much...

Na slikama u nastavku su neki od mojih planova za šivenje u naredno vreme (Slike su preuzete sa Pinterest-a, ne znam dizajnere niti marke, a Miroslava Duma mi je uvek inspiracija.).

Moram dodati da su slike samo inspiracija i da, kao i kod krojeva, najverovatnije neću ispratiti baš svaki detalj na njima. Meni se svidja ideja prikazana na slikama i ne moram baš potpuno sve ispratiti.

In the images below are some of my plans for sewing in the next time (Images are taken from Pinterest, I don't know designers or brands, and Miroslava Duma is always an inspiration.)

I have to add that the pictures are just inspiration and, as with the patterns, I will not copy exactly details on them. I like only the ideas shown in the photos.

1. Ja sam jaknu zamislila kao laganu dugu jaknu, a već imam spremljen materijal za nju. Planirala sam je od štepanog materijala sa paspul trakom okolo i srebrnim drikerima, a kupila sam štep postavu u crvenoj boji za karirani kaput i nisam je za to iskoristila. Postava je obostrano štepana i to tako da su zvezdice po njoj. Posebno mi se sviđa donji deo, napred kraće, a pozadi duže. / I imagine this jacket as a lightweight jacket, and already have the fabric for it. I was planning it out of a quilted fabric with a bias tape around and silver press-studs, and bought a red fabric for a coat lining and didn't use it. I especially like the bottom, on the front is shorter and on the back is longer.
2. Za odelo imam dva materijala, sivo i roze. Najverovatnije da ću šiti dva različita modela odela, što se tiče pantalona i sakoa. Dvoumim se da li da sašijem odelo od jednog cvetnog materijala koji je prethodno prikazan, ali ću onda verovatno morati da dokupim 1 metar materijala (ima ga još u lokalnoj radnji). / I have two fabrics for the suits, gray and pink. Most likely, I will sew two different suits, as far as pants and jackets are concerned. I wonder if I sew a suit of one floral fabric that was previously displayed, but I don't know if I have enough of it.
3. Model haljine na slici me oduševljava, ali je verovatno da deo suknje neću uspeti da izvedem u tim proporcijma zbog mojih mera, ali o tome ću razmišljati kad dođe red na tu haljinu. / The pattern of the dress in the photo is excellent, but it is likely that I will not be able to make a part of the skirt in those proportions because of my measures, but I will think about it when the turn comes to this dress.
4. Kombinezon od veštačke kože na Miroslavi Dumi odlično izgleda. Pre ove priče nisam obezbedila materijale za ove planove tako da mi ostaje da kombinezon pokušam sašiti od nekog materijala koji je u mojim zalihama. / The leather overall on Miroslava Duma looks great. Before this story, I didn't provide the fabrics for these plans so it remains to try to combine this make from some of the fabric that is already in my stock.
5. Haljina na slici je od neke vrste rastegljivog materijala, koji lepo pada, a ja se dvoumim da je uradim od nerastegljivog materijala, ali mi se ova sa slike baš sviđa. Mada možda i nađem nešto u svojim zalihama. / The dress is of some sort of stretchy fabric, which falls nicely, and I'm dying to do it from no stretch material, but I like this in the photo very much.
6. Pantalone širokih nogavica su moj san iako pantalone retko nosim. Pokušavam to da promenim već neko vreme. Kupila sam na Stoffencircus svetli teksas za njih. / The wide-legged pants are my dream though I rarely wear pants. I'm trying to change it for some time. I bought for them at the Stoffencircus a light blue denim.

1. Tako je trebala da izgleda moja venčanica, ali nisam našla odgovarajući materijal. Ako uspem naredni vikend u Novom Sadu da dokupim nešto tamno plavog na tufne koji može da posluži za to, sašiću je, inače radije bih je u ovoj krem boji šila. / I wanted to make my wedding dress look like that dress, but I didn't find appropriate fabric. If I make it the next weekend in Novi Sad to buy some more dark blue fabric that I already have, but not enough, I'll sew it. Though, I'd rather have it in beige.
2. Šivenje donjeg veša je jedan od mojih najvećih izazova u ovoj godini, a model sa slike je za mene idealan model. Jednostavan, a može biti vrlo zanimljiv, u zavisnosti od materijala koji se izabere i njegovog dezena. / Sewing lingerie is one of my biggest challenges this year, a model in the image is for me the ideal model. Simple and can be very interesting, depending on the fabric choice and its design.
3. Ovom kompletu se radujem i za njega već imam pripremljen šareni materijal, mešavine pamuka i lana. jedino mislim da ću napraviti malo kraće pantalone. / I am looking forward to this set and for it, I have already colorful fabric, a mixture of cotton and linen. I only think I'll make a little shorter pants.
4. Haljina na preklop je jedna od mojih neostvarenih želja, a za ovu skakako mislim, s obzirom na moju građu, da mi ne bi stajala, no želja je želja. / Wrap Dress is one of my unfulfilled wishes, and for this one, I think, with regard to my body shape, that it is not for me, but...
5. Kao što rekoh, Miroslava Duma mi je uvek inspracija, a za komplet sa slike imam pripremljen materijal, cvetni, puniji sa malo elastina. / As I said, Miroslav Duma is always my inspiration.
6. Poslednja stvar na ovom spisku je haljina koju nisam sašila prošle godine. Naravno da imam materijal sa cvećem, viskozu koju sam kupila pre 6 godina, a plave boje je. Lagana letnja haljina uvek dobro dođe. / The last thing on this list is a dress I didn't make last year. Of course, I have the flower fabric, the viscose in blue I bought six years ago. A light comfy dress is always good to have.

Nadam se da ću uspeti da sašijem sve što sam planirala, a ovih 12 slika nisu jedino što planiram šiti.

Moram i priznati, osećam se kao da sam još uvek u zimskom snu. Usled svih dešavanja koja su se desila, nisam puno razmišljala o šivenju za proleće, a ni o letu, a sve je već tu na vratima i ja sam nepripremljena. Ove nedelje sam napravila gomilu planova, a znajući sebe, još ću gomilu usput napraviti.
I hope I will succeed everything I plan, and these 12 photos are not the only things I'm planning to make.
I have to admit, I feel still like I'm in the winter dream. Due to all the happenings that have taken place, I didn't think much about sewing for spring or summer, and I'm unprepared. This week I made a pile of plans and knowing myself, I'm still gonna make a few.

Ovaj izazov je pokušaj da se nateram da budem praktičnija u vezi kupovine materijala, tj. da pokušam u budućnosti (možda posle sledećih godinu dana) da kupim materijal i sašijem, a tek onda kupujem novo. 

Nedavno mi se desilo u prodavnci materijala da sam se zaljubila u jedan vezeni pamuk, ali sam se suzdržala od kupovine i ma koliko meni žao bilo što ga nisam kupila, morala sam da počnem i sa tim - da kažem sebi ne.

Znam da ću doći u iskušenje, ali ne bi to bio izazov ako se to ne desi.

(Inače, moj suprug me pitao da li može on da mi pokloni koji materijal ako se meni baš svidi neki!? Slatko, zar ne!? Ali rekla sam da ne može. Ne mogu da pravim izuzetke i da računam na to da će on da mi kupi ono što mi se svidi.)

This challenge is an attempt to get me to be more practical about purchasing fabrics, ie. to try in the future (maybe next year) to buy the fabric and immediately sew, and only then I could buy a new one.
It happened recently that I fell in love with a cotton embroidery fabric, but I refused to buy it, and no matter how it was difficult for me I didn't buy it. I had to start with that - to say no to myself.
I know I'm going to be tempted, but it would not be a challenge if it doesn't happen.
(Anyway, my husband asked me if he could give me fabrics if I liked some! Sweet, isn't it? But I said that he can't, I can't make exceptions and count on him to buy what I like.)

Poželite mi sreću!!!!
Wish me luck!!!
