Svetlo u tmurnom danu/Light in gloomy day

Nadala sam se da tmurno, kišno i hladno vreme neće doći tako brzo.

Leto je bilo skoro konstantno toplo, što je pomalo i neobično za ove krajeve. Nije bilo mnogo kiša, čak je bilo nedovoljno kiše, temperature su bile visoke, čak ponekad previsoke. Nisam navikla na to ovde gde jesam, na severozapadu Nemačke. Obično je Balkan taj koji 'gori' svake godine u letnjim mesecima, ali ove godine je obrnuto.

Ali... Stigla nam je kiša i ovde. Stigla je i hladnoća, ne ona prava, ali osetna. Stigli su i tmurni oblaci koji se smenjuju sa kojim zrakom sunca ponekad. 

U petak i subotu je duvao vetar, prekjuče ceo dan padala kiša, a juče je bio dan bez vetra, na momente sunčan, pa kiša, onda sunce sunce osuši mokre ulice, pa ponovo tmurni oblaci... A danas sija sunce. Temperature su od 12 do 16 stepeni celzijusa proteklih dana. 

Naglo je leto prešlo u, može se reći, kasnu jesen.

Koliko god da me raduje šivenje za jesenju sezonu, toliko me ne raduje hladnoća i tu sam kontradiktorna uvek. Volim jesen i zimu, ali ne volim hladnoću.
I was hoping the gloomy, rainy and cold weather will not come so soon.
This summer was almost always warm, which is a little unusual for this area. There was not much rain, even insufficiently, the temperatures were high, sometimes too high. I'm not used to that here, where I am, in the Northwest of Germany. Usually, the Balkans is the one that 'burns' every year in the hottest months, but this year was contrary.
But ... Rain has come here too. Coldness has happened too, not the right one, but it can be felt. There are also gloomy clouds that change with some sun's rays.
On Friday and Saturday was windy, the day before the whole day raining, but yesterday was a day without wind, now and then sunny, but rainy... The sun dries the wet street, then again dark clouds ... And today the sun is shining. Temperatures are from 12 to 16 degrees Celsius in the past days, today too. The summer has suddenly gone, and now it feels like late fall.
As much as I'm looking forward to the sewing for the fall season, I'm not so happy with the cold. I'm always contradictory - I like fall and winter, but I don't like the coldness.

Sve u svemu, vreme je za odeću dugih rukava, tople odevne predmete i tamnije boja.

Ja počinjem jesen sa svetilm bojama i , ako bolje pogledate, opet sa cvećem. Što da ne!?
All in all, it is time for long-sleeved clothes, warm garments,  and darker colors.
I begin the fall sewing with the light colors and, if you look better, again with the flowers. Why not!?

Istina je da sam majcu počela šiti odavno, možda čak za prošlogodišnju jesen jer sam materijal kupila sredinom septembra prošle godine.

Materijal sam kupila sa namerom da od njega sašijem haljinu, ali je suviše lagan pa sam rešila da ga iskoristim za bluzu.
It is true that I started to sew this blouse for a long time, maybe even last year's fall because I bought this fabric in mid-September last year.
I bought the fabric with the intention of making a dress from it, but it is too thin, so I decided to use it for the blouse.

Volim ovakve bluze, ne previše ozbiljne, ali ne suviše neformalne.

Model je broj 120 iz Burde za mesec februar 2009.

Ovaj kroj se u časopisu nalazi u dve varijante, dužoj i kraćoj, a moja je nešto između te dve. Takođe je kroj dat u najmanjoj veličini 38 pa sam ga ja smanjila na 36 pošto mi u gornjem delu odgovara ta veličina. Nisam nezadovoljna, ali sam rukave možda mogla ostaviti malo šire.
I like blouses like this one, not too serious, but not too informal.
The model is number 120 from Burda Magazine for February 2009.
This pattern is in the magazine in two variants, longer and shorter, and mine is something between those two. Also, the model is given in the smallest size 38 so I downsized it to 36 as my upper part corresponds to that size. I'm not dissatisfied, but I could have left my sleeves a bit wider because now I think they are too narrow. But now I can't change anything here.

Definitivno da ću bar još jednom šiti ovaj model, ako ne i više puta jer mi se sviđa, volim slične krojeve.

Definitely, I will sew this model at least once more, if not more times because I love it, I like similar shapes.

Zato što volim haljine/ Because I like dresses

Haljine, haljine, haljine, ...

Haljine i ja -  posebna priča, čak i ovde na blogu, par puta napisana. Najposebnije mesto u mojoj garderobi zauzimaju upravo one, i ima ih mnogo, ali uvek fali koja više... Haljine uvek mogu šiti, bez obzira da li haljinu trebam, ili će stajati u mom ormaru čekajući svojih 5 minuta, baš svakoj haljini se obradujem i sa zadovoljstvom je planiram i pravim... (Ne zvuči ovo napisano praktično, ali ljubav je to valjda i tu ne mogu da se kontrolišem.)

Dresses, dresses, dresses, ...

Dresses and I - a unique story, even here on a blog, written a few times. The most important place in my wardrobe occupy dresses, and there are many, but always miss one more ... I can still sew them, no matter if I need it or will stand in my closet waiting for its 5 minutes to glow, I just rejoice every one of my dresses, and with pleasure, I plan and sew it ... (It doesn't sound practical, but probably, it is love, and I can't control it.)

Nisam šila mnogo haljina ovog leta, tj. mislim da je ova četvrta po redu.

Uostalom, nisam mnogo šila u poslednjih godinu dana, ali o tome ću pisati za koji dan kad dođe godišnjica bloga, ali jedno je sigurno, najčešće sam svakako šila haljine.

I didn't make many dresses this summer, so I think this is the fourth.

After all, I didn't sew a lot in the past year, but I'm going to write about that soon when the blog's anniversary comes, but one thing is sure, I have usually sewed dresses.

Prvobitno je bio plan da od ovog materijala sašijem kombinezon, pripijen uz telo. Drugi plan je bio da šijem pantalone, a treći je ova haljina mada sam imala ideju da bi možda sako bio dobra ideja. 

Materijal je puniji pamuk sa vrlo malo elastina, a kupljen je pre koju godinu na jednom od Stoffmark-ova (Nadam se da smem da napišem i kako sam ga kupila - jedan je od onih ostataka materijala 1,40-1,80 m dužine koji se prodaju po ceni od 5€. Da, da, za te pare ne mogu da kupim haljinu, a pogotovo ne nešto po meni šiveno.).

The original plan was to sew a jumpsuit from this fabric, tight to the body. The second plan was to make the pants, and the third one was this dress, though I had the idea that the jacket might be a good idea.

The fabric is thicker cotton with very little elastin and it was bought before one year on one of Stoffmark's (It is one of those pieces of textile 1.40-1.80 m length, which are sold at a price of 5€. Yes, yes, for that money I could not buy a dress, and especially not something to fit me.).

Model ove haljine je iz Burde.

Kroj sam potpuno prilagodila svom telu, ali ne znam da li sam 100% uspela u toj nameri.

Naime, konstantno moja težina varira +/- 2 kg od težine koju trenutno smatram standardnom, a samim tim variraju mere mojih  kukova i struka u vrednosti od par cm pa kad se šije ovakva haljina, pripijena uz telo, to pravi dosta poteškoća. 

Sa druge strane, oblik mog tela je klasičan oblik kruške, tj. u veličinama to izgleda ovako - gornji deo 36, donji 38-40 sa manjim grudima i istaknutom pozadinom.

Sve gore navedeno sam pokušala da sredim na kroju ne bi li mi haljina najbolje pristajala.

The model of this dress is from Burda Magazine.

I make it completely adapted to my body, but I don't know if I 100% succeeded in that.

Individually, my weight continually varies by +/- 2 kg from the weight I currently consider my standard and thus vary measurements of my hips and waist in a couple of cms, so that always makes quite a  trouble.

On the other hand, the shape of my body is a classic form of a pear, so in sizes, it looks like this - bodice size 36, bottom 38-40 with smaller chests and a bigger back.

All the above I tried to correct to make my dress fit best.

Kao što se vidi na slikama iznad, haljina napred ima ovalan izrez, a pozadi dublji v-izrez. 

Prvo sam haljinu zamislila napred potpuno zatvorenu, a pozadi dublji v-izrez, ali sam se predomislila jer je boja i dezen materijala suviše jak pa sam smatrala da mi neće dobro pristajati takav model. I trenutno je moje mišljenje da je to bila ispravna odluka.

Druga stvar je bila dužina haljine. Planirala sam da haljina bude duža nego što vidite na slikama ispod, ali ovo je maksimalna dužina koju sam mogla dobiti od materijala koji sam imala. 

Haljina nije postavljena, sem na gornjem delu, na izrezima.

As seen in the images above, the dress has on the neckline an oval cut in a front and at the back a deeper v-cut.

First I thought the dress would be completely closed and with the deeper v-cut at the back, but I changed my mind because the color and texture of fabric are too striking, so I thought it would not fit this model. And my opinion at the moment is that this was the right decision.

The other thing was the length of the dress. I planned dress to be longer than you see in the pictures below, but this is the maximum length I could get from the fabric I had.

The dress has no lining, except on the top, on cuts and armholes.

Ovo je poslednji pravi letnji komad odeće kojim završavam letnju sezonu šivenja, a haljina ostaje u mom ormaru dok ne dođe prilika da je obučem (Tj. haljina mi u ovom momentu nije bila potrebna, ali sam želela da je sašijem.)
Ostaje mi još da završim par davno započetih komada odeće (ako ne odustanem opet od njih) pa da krenem sa šivenjem za jesen, kojem se neizmerno radujem.
Do sledećeg čitanja
This dress is the last real summer garment, with which I'm finishing the summer season of sewing, and this dress remains in my closet until appears an occasion to wear it (i.e., I didn't need this dress at this time, but I wanted to sew it.).
It remains to me that I finish a few previously started garments (if I do not give up again) so I can go with autumn sewing, which I look forward.

Kao na slici/Like in the photo

Konačno da i ovde stignem.

Nisam skoro ceo mesec ništa pisala, a nije da nisam nešto radila. Radila sam svašta (Postala tetka, ovaj put jedne devojčice, kuvala pekmez od kajsija (Obožavam ga! A što mi dobro ispao... Sad još šljive da stignu.), pravila turšiju, ... Skoro 2 meseca imamo električne bicikle pa se i vozamo malo više kad vreme dozvoli (Evo drugi dan ovaj mesec bez kiše, jeeee.), malo smo i partijali, kuglali i konačno posle godinu dana u ponedeljak igrali golf (To je jedna od stvari, pored teretane, koju mi je žao što ne uspevam više.).).

I šila sam ponešto (Mada sam sela, ponovo, da zagrejem stolicu ne bi li usavršila nemački pa ne žalim što manje šijem.).

Finally to come here.

I didn't write anything for almost a month, and it wasn't that I didn't do anything. I've done a lot of things (I became an aunt again, my sister gave birth to a girl, a little bit babysitting sister's older child, cooked apricot jam (I love it. It's so good. Waiting for plums now.),  ... Almost 2 months we have electric bikes and we are driving them a little more when the weather permits (This is the second day this month without rain, yeah.), We were invited to some parties, bowled and finally after a year on Monday played golf (This is one thing apart from the gym, I'm sorry I can't do it more.)).

And I sewed a bit (I want to improve my German knowledge, so I don't regret as much as I could).

Nažalost, prve tri nedelje avgusta je skoro stalno padala kiša i bilo (za moj organizam) prilično hladno (15-22 stepeni), a kod mene na stolu za šivenje samo započete letnje stvari. U jednom trenutku sam htela da se prebacim na šivenje za jesen, ali odlučih da to sačeka 1.9. (Odajem počast letu samo zbog haljina.). Nego, sad još imam još koješta za završiti (jedna haljina, 4 kupaća kostima, 5 bluza i jedne pantalone) pa da počinjem opet nešto drugo.

Unfortunately, during the first three weeks of August it was raining and quite cold (15 to 22 degrees), on my sewing table were only plans for warm weather. At one point I wanted to switch to sewing for fall, but I decided to wait until September 1 (I pay tribute to the summer only because of the dresses). And now I still have something to finish (one dress, 4 swimsuits, 5 blouses and one pants) so I could start something else again.

Sad da se vratim na današnju temu.

Ovo se kod mene zove neplansko šivenje. Desi mi se da vidim negde sliku i da mi se, u ovom slušaju, haljina svidi i da je šijem. Tako je nastala ova haljina. Na dnu ove priče, poslednja slika je slika haljine sa interneta (u ovom slučaju Pinterest) po kojoj sam šila ovu haljinu. Nikad nisam učila, tako da ne znam (još uvek) sama da napravim kroj pa sam se poslužila krojem iz Burde (gornji deo je jedan model, a donji drugi).

Now to come back to today's topic.

This is called unplanned. It happens to me, that I see a photo of a dress, I like it and sew it. That's how this dress was created. At the bottom of this story, the last photo is the photo of the dress from internet (in this case, Pinterest) by which I sewed this dress. I never taught, so I don't know (yet) alone to make a pattern, so I used patterns from Burda (the top is one model, and the skirt another one).

Materijal je jedan od materijala koje imam na zalihama. Iako sam imala u planu nešto drugo i mislim da bi neki mekši pamuk bio mnogo bolji nego ovaj pamuk, ali nisam ga mogla nabaviti u neko skorije vreme pa sam se poslužila ovim što imam. I pored toga, mislim da materijal odgovara ovom modelu. Svakako sam od njega planirala haljinu šiti.

The fabric is one of the fabrics I have in stock. Though I had something else in my mind and think some softer cotton would be much better than this cotton, I couldn't get it in recent time, so I used what I have. And besides, I think this fabric fits this model. Certainly, I was planning to make a dress from it.

Pokušala sam u što većoj meri da kopiram model sa slike, a opet sam htela da budem drugačija pa su u pitanju manje razlike (Izrez nije potpuno isti, džepovi su kosi jer te ja više volim, a suknja je malkice šira što i ne mora biti tačno, ali po slici bi rekla da jeste.).

Gornji deo nisam postavljala jer sam imala bojazan da će biti suviše krut postavljen jer je sam pamuk krut. Umesto toga sam ivice obradila paspul trakom, ali u plavoj boji, sve da bi bilo zanimljivije, ali se ona ni ne vidi jer je unutra.

Najveći problem su mi predstavljala dugmad. Meni su se svidela dugmad na slici, ali ih je bilo nemoguće brzo naći, a čekati nisam htela. Imala sam dve vrste drikera kući, kupila još jednu, a kupila sam još tri vrste dugmadi (plave, krem i srebrne) za ušivanje od kojih je jedna na haljini. (Nisam 100% zadovoljna, ali nisu ni toliko loša.) 

I tried as much as I could to copy the model from the photo, and again I wanted to be different, so there are small differences (Neckline and pockets are not exactly the same, and the skirt is wider than on the photo, as I can see.).

I didn't put a lining on the top because I was afraid it would be too stiff because the cotton is stiff. Instead, the edges were hemmed with a true bias, but in blue, all that it would be more interesting. It couldn't be seen because it is inside.

The biggest problem was the buttons. I liked the buttons in the photo, but it was impossible to find them quickly and I didn't want to wait. I had two types of press studs buttons at home, bought one more, and three more types of buttons (blue, beige and silver) and one of them is on this dress. (I'm not 100% happy, but they aren't so bad.)

Na slikama može da se vidi kako haljina na meni izgleda. 

In the photos can be seen how the dress fits me.

I onda je izašlo sunce, baš kad ne treba, pa su slike svetlije. (To znači da još nisam naučila da koristim fotoaparat, izvinjavam se.)

And then the sun came out, just when I don't need it, so the photos are brighter. (This means I haven't learned to use the camera yet, I apologize.)

A na kraju, pominjana, slika sa interneta koja je poslužila kao inspiracija, tj. kopirala sam kroj sa slike.
Finally, a photo from the Internet that served as an inspiration, i.e. I copied the pattern from the photo.

Nadam se da vam se svidelo.
Do sledećeg čitanja.
I hope you liked it.

Moja ideja/My idea

Da, sve su moje ideje.

Svako spajanje materijala i kroja, svaka promena kroja, svaka promena odeće, ... Sve su to moje ideje. Ne razlikuje se ova baš previše. 

Kao što sam već pisala, ja se ponekad potpuno prepustim materijalu, da li kvalitetu tkanine ili dezenu, ali 99% biti određenog komada garderobe dolazi upravo od materijala. (Mislim da je ovde reč o 100%.)

Yes, they are all my ideas.

Every joining fabric and cut, every change in pattern, every little thing in clothes, ... All of these are my ideas. This is not so much different.

As I have already written, sometimes I'm totally inspired with fabric, whether the quality or the pattern of the fabric, but 99% of a certain piece of wardrobe comes just from inspiration whit fabric. (I think, here it is 100%.)

Materijal sam kupila na poslednjem Stoffmarkt-u pre dve nedelje, a ko me je u poslednje vreme ispratio, materijal iz priče http://ormarjednejelene.blogspot.de/2017/06/my-colors.html i ovaj su istog dezena samo su boje drugačije. Ovde je podloga tamna pa se materijal ne providi, što je bio slučaj sa belom podlogom, tako da nisam morala postavljati materijal. Kvalitet materijala je isti, a boje su svakako moj izbor broj jedan.

I bought this fabric two weeks ago at the last Stoffmarkt, and who recently read me, fabric from the story http://ormarjednejelene.blogspot.de/2017/06/my-colors.html and this one are almost the same, only colors are other. Here is the base dark and the fabric isn't transparent, which was the case with the white background, so I didn't need to put the lining. The quality of the fabrics is the same, and these colors are always my first choice.

Stajala sam svega pola sata pred ogledalom i smišljala šta bi šila. Znala sam da će biti haljina, a s obzirom da mi se materijal mnogo svideo i da je bordura prelepa, odlučila sam sam da haljina bude na jedno rame i da se bordura nalazi i gore i dole. Čak štaviše, iskoristila sam rub bordure, tj. krajeve materijala, koji su tehnički dobro urađeni, pa nisam morala ni htela da porubljujem rubove haljine.

Kroj haljine je jednostavan, širina je celom dužinom ista, oko 130cm. 

Manje dvojbe jesam imala, i to oko gornjeg dela. Odlučila sam da haljina bude sa gumom, ali na njoj bordura. Bordura je rasečena na ramenu jer je tako bilo bolje s obzirom da je bordura široka.

Dužinu haljine ostavih koliko je bilo materijala, meni se čak tako i najviše svidelo.

I stood for half an hour in front of the mirror and figured out what would be of this piece. I knew it would be a dress, since the fabric and the border are so beautiful, I decided that the dress should be on one shoulder and that the border should be up and down. Even more, I used the edge of the border, that is, the ends of the fabric, which are technically well done, so I didn't hem the edges of the dress.

The pattern of this dress is simple, the width is same all along, about 130cm. 

I had fewer doubts, and that was about a top. I decided to end up with rubber. The border is open on the shoulder and that's the only detail on the dress.

I left the length of the dress as much as I had fabric, and I liked it even the most.

(Nedavno je jedna starija gospođa rasprodavala inventar svoje radnje zbog zatvaranja. Radnja se nalazila u blizini i ja sam slučajno to primetila. Nije baš da mi je trebala lutka za šivenje, ali sam kupila dve (posle cenkanja). Ovo je, u stvari, lutka za izlog, ali pošto je od stiropora, može se koristiti i kao lutka za šivenje. Međutim, ja već imam lutku za šivenje pa ove dve kod mene služe kao ukras, a i dobro dođu kad nešto ne može na ofinger. Poenta priče je da mi je lutka baš dobro došla za slikanje, iako sad primetih da nisam lepo namestila haljinu.)

(Recently, an older lady sold out the inventory of her store because of closing. The store was near by and I accidentally caught it. It's not like I needed a sewing mannequin, but I bought two. This is, in fact, a display or window mannequin, but since it is styrofoam, it can also be used as a sewing mannequin. However, I already have one and these two are used as a decoration in my sewing room, they are ideal when something can't be shown on a hanger. I want to say, the mannequin 'helped' in this case.)

Još jedna od laganih letnjih haljina u mom ormaru, a za ovo leto, još imam u planu dve za sašiti.

One more of the light summer dresses in my closet, and for this summer, I still have two others in my sewing plans.
