3.godina bloga/The 3rd year of the blog

Prošla je još jedna godina na mom blogu, treća po redu.

Burna godina, što se svega tiče samo ne šivenja. Manje sam šila nego prošle godine, čak tri puta manje. Ali sve što sam sašila su svakako stvari koje se mogu dobro kombinovati sa nečim drugim, a ono što se ne može naći na blogu su razna eksperimentisanja koja nisu uspela, a bilo ih je ove godine.

Sve u svemu, godina je iza mene, takva kakva jeste.

It's been another year on my blog, the third in a row.

A hard year, as far as everything else, just not sewing. I did less sewing than last year, even three times less. But all things I sewed can be combined well with something else in my wardrobe. The items that cannot be found on the blog are various experiments that have failed, and there were enough of them this year.

All in all, the year is behind me, as it is.

U ovoj trećoj godini svega nekoliko odevnih predmeta. 

Nisam preterivala, trudila sam se da šijem kad mi se šilo, bez obzira da li blog ispašta zbog toga ili ne. Najjednostavnije objašnjenje je da sam bila zaokupljena drugim stvarima koje su meni u ovom trenutku bitnije i pomalo sam zapostavila blog.

Istina je da sam i više sašila nego što sam slikala. Ostala je jedna prolećna košulja, dve bluze za leto i jedna suknja za slikanje, a to ću obaviti kad za to ponovo dođe sezona. Ostalo mi je i par stvari koje treba završiti, par iskrojenih i još nekoliko smišljenih ideja od kojih se ne odustaje.

In this third year, I made only a few items.

I didn't exaggerate, I tried to sew when I wanted and had time, regardless of the blog. The simplest explanation is that I was preoccupied with other things that are more important to me at the moment, and I neglected the blog a bit.

The truth is I made more than it is shown here. I didn't take photos of some things: one button-down shirt for spring, two blouses, and one skirt or the summer. I'll do it when the season comes again. Besides, I left a few unfinished items, a couple of tailored models and a few more thoughtful ideas that I don't give up.

Sve u svemu, (samo) 10 odevnih predmeta za treću godinu bloga, od toga 2 jakne - jedna duga i jedna kratka (Taj model moram ponovo šiti!), 2 haljine (od kojih ne znam koja je lepša) i 6 gornjih odevnih predmeta, tj 3 bluze i 3 košulje.

Definitivno sam smanjila šivenje haljina, a povećala broj bluza i košulja, što mi je i bio cilj.

Jedno veliko žaljenje je što nisam uspela da napravim pantalone, a pokušala sam bar 5 puta i isto toliko materijala uništila. To mi je zaokupilo skoro celo proleće i leto, a uskoro planiram da se vratim tome. Druga stvar zbog koje žalim jeste što nisam završila letnje suknje koje sam počela, a ukupno ih je bilo čak tri.

Overall, (only) 10 outfits for the third year of the blog, of which 2 jackets - one long and one short, 2 dresses and 6 tops, i.e., 3 blouses and 3 shirts.

I definitely reduced the sewing of the dresses, increased the number of blouses and shirts, which was my goal.

One big regret is that I failed to make the pants, I tried at least 5 times and ruined just so many fabrics. That preoccupied me almost all spring and summer long, but I plan soon to return to it. The other thing I regret is that I didn't make skirts that I started, even three.

Što se tiče šivenja donjeg veša, uspela sam da završim samo jedan deo od tri koja su bila planirana, tako da me to očekuje u narednih godinu dana ponovo.

As for sewing underwear, I only managed to finish one part of the three that were planned, so that is what I plan in the following year again.

https://ormarjednejelene.blogspot.com/2019/01/donji-ves-4deounderwear-part-4.html

Jedna novina, tj. ono što sam prvi put šila, bio je filc. Sve je počelo tako što sam u lokalnoj radnji tkanina videla filc koji je čvrst i idealno drži formu. Taj filc je bio 4 mm debeo i odlično se pokazao kao materijal za tašne i ruksak.  Međutim u tom svemu, malo mi se mašina poremetila pa je morala na popravku.

Na mom blogu se mogu videti dve tašne i jedan rukasak od filca, a na Bernina blogu se može videti detaljno uputstvo za izradu jedne od tašni, o čemu će u daljem tekstu još biti reči.

One novelty, i.e., what I sewed for the first time, was felt. It all started by seeing a felt at a local fabric store. That felt was 4 mm thick and turned out to be an excellent material for a bag and backpack. However, in all that, my sewing machine got a little messy and had to be repaired.

On my blog, you can see two bags, and one felt backpack, and on the BERNINA Blog can be seen detailed instructions for making one of these bags, which will be discussed later.

https://ormarjednejelene.blogspot.com/2019/02/felt-bags.html

Ni u protekloj godini nisam kupovala garderobu, sem par belih majci i jedan ili dva para farmerki (ne sećam se više). U nedelju sam bila u kupovini sa de prijateljice i probala jednu zelenu haljinu koja mi je bila lepa i dobro stajala, ali pošto mi nije potrebna nisam je kupila - to je jedna od stvari kojoj je blog doprineo, ne kupujem garderobu koja mi nije potrebna iako mi se svidi.

I haven't bought clothes in the past year either, except for a pair of white T-shirts and one or two pairs of jeans (I don't remember anymore). On Sunday, I was shopping with two girlfriends and tried on one green dress that was nice and well-styled, but since I didn't need it, I didn't buy it. It's one of the things the blog has contributed to, I don't buy the wardrobe when I don't need though I like it.

Završila sam sa još jednim izazovom i ponovo kupujem tkanine ali ne u tolikoj meri kao pre. Naravno, zadala sam si novi izazov pa kupujem samo jednobojne tkanine koje mogu da se lakše kombinuju sa ostatkom moje garderobe. 

The second challenge is completed, and I can buy fabrics again but not as much as before. Of course, I set myself a new challenge, so I only purchase monochrome materials that can be more easily combined with the rest of my wardrobe.

Moj profil na Bernina blogu je takođe pomalo ispaštao.

U prošlih godinu dana uradila sam 8 uputstava za šivenje raznih stvari. Između ostalog, pisala sam o šivenju jastušnica i gaćica na 3 različita načina, napravila sam krojeve za tašnu od filca i kapu, koji su možda malo zahtevniji, a takođe i futrole za krojačke lenjire, kao i podlogu za tanjir, čašu i torbicu za escajg. Ovaj mesec sam pisala o pravljenju mirišljavih kesica od lavande, a za mene najzanimljivije je bilo pravljenje broša od filca. To je ono što je meni dalo slobodu da radim kreativne a pomalo unikatne stvari. 

I also neglected my profile on the BERNINA Blog.

In the past year, I have done 8 sewing instructions for various things. Among other things, I wrote about sewing pillowcases and panties in 3 different ways, made patterns for felt bags and beanie hat that may be a bit trickier, as well as for the ruler holder and the table decoration. This month I wrote about making scented lavender bags, but for me, the most exciting thing was making the felt brooch. This is what gave me the freedom to do creative and to make somewhat unique things.

A sada da pišem i o nekim drugim temama, a vezane su za blog. 

Već par meseci, u nedostatku vremena da se posvetim blogu, razmišljam da prestanem sa pisanjem, tj. slikanjem i objavljivanjem stvari koje sašijem. Posvetila sam se stvarima koje su mi trenutno bitnije i ne stižem da održavam blog na nivou na kome sam to do sada radila, a kamoli da ga unapredim. Drugačije rečeno, nisam uradila na tehničkom planu ništa od planiranog, a pitanje je kada ću uspeti tome da se posvetim.

Sa druge strane, ovaj blog je apsolutno amaterski i takav bi ostao i u budućnosti. Za sada se trudim da mi ne oduzima previše vremena pa tako mogu da ga ostavim u životu još neko vreme dok ne odlučim šta uraditi sa blogom. 

Sa šivenjem neću prestati, ono će uvek zaokupljavati moje slobodno vreme jer volim da šijem, kako sebi stvari tako i stvari za kuću i poklone za druge.

And now to write about some other topics related to the blog.

For some time now, in the lack of time to dedicate myself to the blog, I think to stop writing, taking photos and publishing things that I sew. I have dedicated myself to the things that are most important to me right now, and I don't manage to maintain a blog at the level I have been doing so far or to improve it. In other words, I haven't done any technical work on the blog or for the blog, and the question is when will I manage to devote myself to it.

On the other hand, this blog is absolutely amateurish and would remain so in the future. For now, I can leave it in life for a while until I decide what to do with it.

I will not stop with sewing, it will always occupy my free time, because I like to sew, as for myself, as well as things for the house and gifts for others.

Iako blog postoji kao moja inspiracija drugima koji žele da šiju, a nisu se odvažili do sada da to učine, hvala onima koji svrate ovde da pogledaju, možda i pročitaju šta ja imam da pokažem. 

Šivenje je predivan hobi, a svakog ko želi, a nije još počeo sa pravljenjem sopstvene garderobe, mogu samo da podržim. Samo napred!!! Trud i vreme zahteva sve čime se bavite pa tako i šivenje, a korisno je uvek i zavisi samo od onoga šta vi želite.

Hvala svima!

Although the blog exists as my inspiration to others who want to sew and have not courage so far to do the same, thank you to those who come here to take a look, maybe even read, what I have to show.

Sewing is a beautiful hobby, and anyone who wants and hasn't so far started making their own clothes, I can only support. Go ahead!!! Hard work and time requires everything you do, sewing too, and it is always useful and depends on what you want.

Thank You all!

Do sledećeg čitanja

Until next reading

2.godina bloga/The 2nd year of the blog

Prošla je još jedna cela godina od kako, pre svega šijem, a onda i pišem o tome.

Ova druga godina se u mnogo čemu razlikuje od prve.

Prva je bila puna šivene garderobe, samo sam na to mislila, planirala i ostvarivala planirano. Sve je išlo nekako lako (Mislim na većinu stvari, nešto mi uvek mora muke zadavati.).
It's been another year since I, above all, sew, and then write about it.
This second year is so different from the first one.
The first was full of sewn garments, I constantly thought about it, planned it and made it. Everything went a bit easy (I mean most things, something is always there to cause troubles.).

U ovoj drugoj godine nisam šila toliko mnogo kao u prvoj, nisam stigla da uradim sve što sam planirala, a razloga je bilo mnogo.

Kao i svake godine, krajem godine preispitujem šta sam ili nisam uradila u toj godini, pa sam iz tog razloga počela drugu godinu bloga sa blagim zaostatkom. Manje sam šila, radila neke stvari koje oduzimaju više vremena i donose više napora.

Posle toga su se ređale neke privatne stvari, što pozitivne, što negativne, koje mi nisu dale da se posvetim šivenju.

Naime, u oktobru smo konačno našli odgovarajuću kuću za kupiti (Tražili smo kuću za nas skoro dve godine.), u novembru potpisali papire, u decembru je sve bilo završeno pa smo počeli sa renoviranjem (Nije baš u potpunosti kuća odgovarajuća bila, a za nekoga to znači promena tapeta, poda, plafona i stolarije, a za nas premeštanje stepenica, pravljenje novih soba i slično.) koje još uvek traje iz gomile drugih razloga. 

Početkom januara mi je leva ruka bila u zavoju dve nedelje jer sam posekla jagodicu malog prsta i nisam znala da jedna manja posekotina uzrokuje toliko krvarenja i nezgoda.

Nažalost, početkom februara je iznenada preminuo moj otac, što je svakako donelo neka sasvim drugačija razmišljanja u mom životu.

Sredinom marta je moja majka završila u bolnici, ali se ispostavilo da nije bilo strašno, a početkom juna meseca moj muž, neplanski, a krajem jula on je operisan, ali to je bilo planski.

Sve te stvari su me najviše odvukle od šivenja, a u tim situacijama je to i normalno. Naprosto, ne može čovek da se posveti bilo čemu kad mora da razmišlja o nekim drugim stvarima.
In this second year, I didn't sew as much as in the first one, I didn't get to do everything I planned, and there were many reasons.
Like every year, at the end of the year I wonder what I did or did not do in that year, so, for this reason, I started the second year of the blog with a slight backlog. I sewed less, doing some things that take more time and effort.
After that, there were some personal things, positive and negative, which did not give me to dedicate myself to sewing.
Namely, in October we finally found the right house to buy (We've been looking for a home for us almost two years.), signed paperwork in November, everything was finished in December and we started renovating ((The house was not quite adequate, and for someone it means changing the wallpapers, the floor, the ceiling, and the carpentry, and for us to move the stairs, make new rooms and similar.) that still lasts for a whole bunch of other reasons.
At the beginning of January, my arm was in the bend of two weeks because I had cut my finger and that one wound caused so much bleeding and inability.
Unfortunately, my father suddenly passed away at the beginning of February, which certainly gave me some very different thoughts in my life.
In mid-March, my mother ended up in the hospital, but it turned out not to be terrible, and at the beginning of June my husband was unplanned also in hospital, and at the end of July he was operative, but that was planned.
All these things have taken me away most from sewing, and in those situations it is normal. Sometimes a man can't devote himself to something because he has to think about other more important things like health and family.

Nisam puno šila u ovoj drugoj godini, ali iako mi je neizmerno žao, nisam mogla više.

Sašila sam 27 odevnih predmeta i tri puta sam šila donji veš.

Izuzimajući šorceve kojih je bilo 7 i troje pantalona, najviše sam opet šila haljine i to njih 7, zatim bluze - 5 komada, a iako sam planirala više, sašila sam jedan kaput i jednu jaknu.
I didn't sew a lot in this second year, but even though I was inexcusably sorry, I couldn't do more.
I sewed 27 garments and three times underwear.
Except for the seven shorts and three trousers, I mostly sewed the dresses again - 7, then the blouses - 5 pieces, and although I planned more, I made only one coat and one jacket.

Nisam nezadovoljna, komadi koje sam šila su svakako posebni i meni dragi. Haljine su prelepe, iako ih nisam nosila, volim da ih šijem, a svakako se radujem prilici da ih obučem. Za leto, koje je za nama, sam šila praktične stvari koje su mi bile potrebne i nije ih mnogo.

Bluza opet nisam šila mnogo, ali planiram uskoro više, kao i pantalona.

Kaput je samo jedan ovde, a materijala imam za bar 10 tako da me to čeka i ove zime (A i još uvek mi fale neki modeli i boje u ormaru.). Ista situacija je i sa jaknama.

Donji veš je još jedan u nizu izazova u šivenju novog i meni nepoznatog. Krećem se malim koracima jer sam previše detaljna i precizna pa kad već učim nešto novo to ide sporo.
I'm not dissatisfied, the garments I've been sewed are undoubtedly unique. Dresses are pretty, although I didn't wear them, I love to make them, and I'm certainly looking forward to wearing them. For the summer, which was for us, I was making the practical things that I needed and not many.
The blouses I didn't sew much again, but I plan soon more, just like the pants.
The coat is only one here and the fabrics I have for at least 10, so I'm waiting for this winter (And still some models and colors are missing in my closet). The same situation is with jackets.
The underwear is another in a series of challenges in sewing the new and unknown to me. I'm getting small steps because I'm too detailed and precise so when I'm learning something new it's going slow.

Na slikama ispod možete da vidite sve pomenute odevne predmete i to poređane hronološkim redom, baš kao što sam predstavila i prvu godinu bloga.
In the pictures below you can see all of the items mentioned above, in chronological order, just as I presented the first year of the blog.

Ove godine sa šila i za druge ljude, što inače ne radim. U novembru za moju prijateljicu Claudia, i sa tim je počelo. U decembru sam sašila jedan tipi, ali ga još uvek nisam slikala, ali je moja sestra uspela da sila moje nećake u pidžamama koje sam im šila. U junu sam sašila 4 haljinice za dve devojčice 2 i 4 godine stare, ali nisam napravila slike, a devojčicama su preslatko stajale.

Šila sam, takođe, za dve nepoznate žene. Naime, zamolile su me da pokušam da šijem haljine za flamenco. One su prezadovoljne pa me čeka nastavak šivenja odeće za flamenco.

Umalo da zaboravim, šila sam jednu suknju za rođendanski poklon.

Kao što napisah, ne šijem za druge ljude i neću to ni u budućnosti raditi. Napravim ponekad nešto za nećake (ćebad su bila poslednja) i eventualno za po koju prijateljicu koja baš silno nešto želi i to je dosta od mene.
In this 2nd year, I sewed for other people too, what I don't usually do. In November for my friend Claudia, and it started with that. In December, I made one tipi, but I still didn't take photos, my sister managed to force my nephews into the pajamas and the pictures are on the blog. In June I sewed four dresses for two little girls, 2 and 4 years old, and they were adorable in them.
I also made, for two women, which I don't know before. Namely, they asked me to try to sew flamenco dresses. They are overwhelmed and waiting for me to continue sewing their flamenco garments.
I almost forget I made one skirt as a birthday present.
As I wrote, I don't sew for other people, and I will not do that in the future either. Sometimes I do something for my niece and nephew (last were the blankets) and possibly for any friend who really wants something and that is all from me.

Završila sam jedan izazov i počela drugi. Prvi izazov sam u martu uspešno završila, nisam kupila godinu dana nijedan komad garderobe, a čak i posle toga nisam mnogo kupovala. Ne znam kako to da napišem, ali nemam želju za kupovinom garderobe.

No, preterala sam na nekoj drugoj strani, pa sam pored gomile materijala koje već imam kupila još mnogo, a znala sam da fizički ne mogu da postignem toliko da sašijem. Zbog toga sam sebi zadala novi, drugi po redu izazov.
I finished one challenge and started another. My first challenge in March ended successfully, I didn't buy a piece of wardrobe for a year and even after that, I didn't buy much. I can tell, I don't have the desire to buy a wardrobe.
But I've gone over to some other side, so besides a bunch of fabrics I've already have, I bought many more, but I knew I couldn't physically succeed so much to sew. That is why I gave myself the new, second challenge.

U vezi ostalih sadržaja na blogu, malo sam zakazala. Na blogu je samo jedna priča o hrani i na moju veliku žalost, samo jedna priča o putovanjima i to je priča o prelepoj Barseloni. Zbog svega gore navedenog, nismo mnogo putovali, a početkom juna smo posetili još jedan prelepi grad - Budimpeštu, ali ja o tome nisam pisala niti postavila slike jer nisam imala prilike kada smo se vratili sa putovanja i posle sam odustala od toga.
About the other content on the blog, I've failed. There is only one story about food and my great sorrow, on the blog is just one story about traveling, and that is the story of the overwhelming Barcelona. Because of all the above, we didn't travel a lot, and at the beginning of June we visited another beautiful city - Budapest, but I didn't write or post pictures about it because I didn't have the opportunity when we came back from the trip and after that, I gave up.

Uz sve nevolje koje sam imala na ličnom planu pa zbog toga manje šila, za blog se desila jedna vrlo bitna stvar, tj. za mene, ali zbog bloga i zbog toga što me je muž u prvoj godini bloga častio novom mašinom za šivenje marke BERNINA.

Naime, polovinom aprila me je putem mail-a kontaktirala osoba iz marketing tima Bernine sa ponudom, da li bih možda pisala za BERNINA blog na engleskom jeziku.

Povodom tog odgovora sam se mnogo dvoumila. Pisanje bloga, pre toga šivenje (koje bih i inače radila), pravljenje slika i sređivanje, zahteva mnogo vremena i truda. Ako bi se moralo meriti sa nečim, ja bih rekla da je to kao jedan normalan posao, 5 puta nedeljno, 8 sati, ako ne i više. (Divim se ljudima koji pored redovnog posla uspevaju da pišu i održavaju blog. Istina, neki blogovi su jednostavniji, ali opet zahtevaju mnogo pripreme, rada i realizacije planiranog.) Na kraju je moja odluka bila da - pristala sam da pišem za BERNINA blog, a moj profil se može naći na link-u Jelena.

Što se mojih zaduženja tiče, potrebno je da jednom mesečno, najmanje jednom u dva meseca, napišem jednu priču sa uputstvom za šivenje ili temom šivenja. Priča treba da bude jednostavna i svima pristupačna, što je predstavljalo za mene, a i još uvek je, veliki izazov. Nikad nisam pisala uputstva za šivenje, a pogotovo ne na engleskom jeziku, a sa druga strane, trebalo je smisliti nešto za šiti i razraditi samu ideju. Do sada sam napisala tri priče i nadam se da postajem sve bolja i bolja.

Moja prva priča je bila na blogu krajem meseca juna, a napisala sam uputstvo sa slikama o šivenju tašne za plažu, druga priča sa kraja jula je o jednostavnoj polukrug suknji, a treća od prošlog meseca je priča o šivenju ćebadi. 

Za sada, ja sam zadovoljna sa saradnjom, a videćemo kako će se dalje odvijati stvari.
With all the trouble I had on a personal plane, and therefore less sewing, a significant thing happened to the blog, that is, for me, but because of the blog and because my husband bought me in the first year of the blog the BERNINA sewing machine.
In the middle of April, I was contacted by one person from Bernina's online marketing team by email, if I could have written for the BERNINA blog in English.
On the occasion of the answer, I had many doubts. Writing a blog, before that, the sewing (which I would anyway do), taking pictures and arranging, takes a lot of time and effort. If it could be compared to anything, I would say it's like a regular job, five days a week, 8 hours, if not more. (Some blogs are more straightforward than others but still require many preparations, work, and realization of the plan.) In the end, I decided to write for BERNINA's blog, and my profile can be found on the link.
What are my responsibilities are concerned, it is necessary once a month, at least once every two months, to write a story with instructions for sewing or sewing theme. The story should be simple and accessible to everyone, which was for me, and is still a big challenge. I have never written the instructions for sewing, especially not in English, and on the other hand, I had to think up something to sew and develop the idea. So far I have written three posts, and I hope to become better and better.
My first story was on the blog at the end of June, and I wrote an instruction with pictures about beach bag sewing, the second story from the end of July was about the simple half-circle skirt, and the third of last month was the story about blankets.
For now, I'm happy with that cooperation, and we'll see how it will continue.

A što se tiče mojih mašina, od pre 3 meseca u mojoj šivaćoj sobi je nova endlarica Bernina L460.
And as far as my sewing machines are concerned, since three months ago in my sewing room is a new serger/overlocker Bernina L460.

Evo zaboravih još jednu vrlo bitnu stvar za blog.
Sredinom jula sam dobila etikete za odeću koju šijem. I to samo 50 komada, što će naravno biti dovoljno za celu sledeću godinu, i dobar deo godine posle te, nadam se.
Dizajn slova i boje sam izabrala u roku od 5 minuta i naručila, nisam puno razmišljala moram priznati, ali mi se etikete sviđaju.
Anyway, I forgot another significant thing for the blog and my clothes.
In mid-July, I got the labels for my clothes. And that's just 50 pieces, which will, of course, be enough for next year, and a good part of the year after that, I hope so.
Design, font, and colors I chose within 5 minutes and ordered, I didn't think much I have to admit, but I like it.

Na kraju ostaje priča o stvarima koje trebam da menjam ili da uradim u budućnosti.
Ovaj blog nije savršen, mučim se sa slikama i mojim raspoloženjem na njima, ali se ne opterećujem time. Ne mogu čekati da sve savršeno uradim pa onda da postavim priču jer bi to trajalo u nedogled tako da sam odlučila da me ne opterećuje činjenica da blog nije savršen - jednostavno šijem, slikam i pišem. To se posebno odnosi na temu fotografisanja, sa čime se još uvek mučim i nisam puno odmakla, ali definitivno moram naći vremena za to.
Druga stvar koje me pomalo iritira jeste da previše toga isplaniram, tj. imam mnogo ideja, a ne postižem većinu da uradim. Trudim se da ne pravim velike pauze na blogu i nadam se da uspevam. (2018. je do sada bila mnogo teška godina za mene i jedva čekam da se završi.)
Trudim se da šijem raznovrsnu garderobu jer mi je potrebna, ali uvek mi fali ponešto (Verovatno da će neki sledeći izazov biti uklapanje moje dosadašnje garderobe i plansko šivenje nove kao dopuna moje dosadašnje.). To bi bila treća stvar koju treba da menjam - više da šijem stvari koje se uklapaju u moju postojeću garderobu.
Poslednje je to da ću dobiti novu sobu za šivenje i mnogo se radujem, a već duže planiram kako ću sve organizovati i namestiti.
In the end, there is a story about the things I need to change or do in the future.
This blog is not perfect, I'm still struggeling with the pictures and my moods on them, but I'm not burdened with it. I can't wait to do it perfectly, already I post a story because it would go endless so I decided not to be overwhelmed by the fact that the blog is not perfect - I merely sew, take photos and write. It is especially true of the topic of photography, which still makes me difficulties and I haven't made enough progress, but I urgently have to find time to do that.
The other thing that annoys me is that I plan too much, so I have a lot of ideas, and I don't succeed in getting the most of them. I try not to make big breaks on the blog, and I hope to achieve that. (2018 has so far been a very tough year for me, and I can't wait to its end.)
I try to sew various garments because I need them, but I always miss more. (It is likely that some of the next challenges will be to plan new clothes as a complement to my previous ones.). That would be the third thing I should go to - to sew items that fit into my existing wardrobe.
The last thing is that I will get a new sewing room next year and I'm very happy. Therefore, I'm planning already on how to organize everything.

Uvek pred kraj godine razmatram sve što sam uradila i šta nisam u godini koja prolazi, tako da me opet hvata razmišljanje o prestanku pisanja ovog bloga. Razlog je ponovo taj da bih trebala da završim neke stvari koje su mi potrebne u nekim drugim aspektima mog života, a stvar je u tome da blog nije kriv već manjak volje za te stvari. I žao mi je zbog toga...
Always at the end of the year, I've been thinking of everything I did and what I didn't do in the year that passed, so I was re-thinking about the end of writing this blog. The reason is again that I should finish some of the things I need in some other aspects of my life, and the matter is that the blog is not the reason for not completing them, but the lack of will for those things is. And I'm sorry about it ...

Hvala svima onima koji pogledaju slike, onima koji i pročitaju tekst takođe...
Hvala mojoj porodici, oni znaju koliko ih ja volim i da zbog njih nisam stala.
Thanks to all those who take a look at the pictures, those who read the text...
Thanks to my family, they know how much I love them, and because of them, I did not stop.

Ja volim da šijem i to se ne menja... Ne verujem da će se to ikada promeniti. Kao što sam već napisala, uvek imam novih i starih ideja.
I love to sew, and it does not change... I do not believe that this will ever change. As I have already written, I always have new and old ideas.

Ovo je, inače, moja 100. priča na blogu. Jeeeee...
This is, otherwise, my 100th story on the blog. Yeah...

Još jedna jednostavna suknja/Another simple skirt

Kao što već znate, ja sam ljubitelj jednostvanih stvari, što odeće i obuće, tako i ostalih stvari koje me okružuju.

Ova suknja, na slikama u nastavku, je jedna od najjednostavniji suknji koje sam šila.
As you already know, I am a lover of simple things, clothing and footwear, and other things that surround me.
This skirt, in the photos below, is one of the simplest skirts I've ever made.

Kada sam se dvoumila oko pisanja za Bernina blog na engleskom jeziku, najveća dvojba bila je da li sam ja u stanju da napišem i sašijem nešto jednostavno, tj. da objasnim ceo postupak izrade onoga što zamislim.

Za moju prvu priču na Bernina blogu sam čak uradila i probni primerak (Sada imam čak dve tašne za plažu, a ne idem na more ovo leto.), a sada nisam. Jednostavno sam još pre koju nedelju dobila ideju, napisala tekst, kupila materijal i napravila suknju. 

Čak dva puta sam sebe slikala u suknji, ali nisam uspela da to uradim kako sam želela. Materijal mi je bio prelep kad sam ga izabrala, ali se na slikama loše pokazao i čak sam par dana imala ideju da kupim drugi materijal i sve uradim ispočetka, ali ostalo je sve ipak na ovome.
When I doubted about writing for the Bernina blog in English, the most significant doubt was am I able to think up and sew something simple, that is, to explain the complete process of making what I imagined.
For my first story on Bernina blog I even did a trial (now I've two beach bags, and I'm not going to the sea this summer), and now I didn't. Just for a few weeks I got the idea, wrote the text, bought the fabric, and made a skirt.
Even two times I took photos of myself in a skirt, but I didn't manage to do it as I wanted. My fabric was overwhelmed when I picked it up, but it looks terrible in the photos and even for a couple of days I had the idea to buy another fabric and do everything from the beginning, but this doesn't look so bad.

Ovaj model je polukrug suknja bez rajsfešlusa, a ceo postupak krojenja i šivenja ovakve jedne suknje možete naći u priči How to sew a simple half circle Skirt without a zipper koja se nalazi na BERNINA blogu.

Suknja je jako udobna i prijatna za nositi, a na slikama u nastavku se može videti kako mi pristaje.
This model is a half circle skirt without a zipper and the entire process of cutting and sewing this skirt you can find in the story How to sew a simple half circle skirt without a zipper located on the BERNINA blog.
The skirt is beautiful and comfortable to wear, and in the photos below you can see how it fits me.

Moje mišljenje je da ovu suknju može sašiti svako, čak su većina stvari početničke. Jedino na šta treba dobro obratiti pažnju jeste izbor tkanine jer neki materijali mogu da zadaju mnogo poteškoća.

My opinion is that this skirt can sew everyone, even a complete beginner. The only thing you should pay attention to is the selection of fabrics because some fabrics can inflict difficulties.

BERNINA Blog

Kao što već znate, koristim moju novu mašinu za šivenje, sad već nešto duže od godinu dana. 

Reč je o modelu BERNINA 530, a dobila sam je na poklon od muža. 

Mašina je odlična, a ja sam posebno zadovoljna mogućnostima koje ona pruža prilikom šivenja.

(Sve moje stvari od aprila prošle godine su šivene koristeći tu mašinu.)

As you already know, I use my new sewing machine, now a little longer than a year.

It's the BERNINA 530, and I got it as a present from my husband.

The machine is excellent, and I am particularly pleased with the possibilities it provides by sewing.

(All my things since April last year were sewed using this machine.)

Naime, pre nekog vremena, dobila sam mail od urednice BERNINA bloga na engleskom jeziku sa ponudom da budem jedan od autora na njihovom blogu.

I ja sam pristala tako da sam (konačno) napisala svoju prvu priču.

Namely, some time ago, I received an email from the editor of BERNINA's Blog in English with the offer to be one of the authors on their blog.

And I (finally) wrote my first story.

BERNINA blog se nalazi na adresi https://blog.bernina.com/en/, a bavi se kreativnim stvarima i šivenjem koje omogućavaju proizvodi kompanije BERNINA (Možete više pročitati na https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bernina_International.).

BERNINA blog is located at https://blog.bernina.com/en/, It is about creating things and sewing that enable products of company BERNINA (You can read more about on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bernina_International.).

A što se tiče mog prvog posta, dugo sam razmišljala šta bi mogla jednostavno da predstavim, a opet da bude u mom fazonu.
Na kraju sam napravila svoj kroj i napisala svoje prvo uputstvo za šivenje sa propratnim slikama.
Moj prvi post https://blog.bernina.com/en/2018/06/how-to-sew-a-beach-bag-with-rope-handles/

And as for my first post, I've been thinking for a long time what I could make and simple explain.
In the end, I made my own pattern and wrote my first sewing tutorial with accompanying pictures.
