Šarena haljina/The colorful dress

Jedan predivan materijal, jedan dobar kroj i jedna lepa haljina.

Tim redom ide, tako sam ih kupila, birala i sašila.

One beautiful fabric, one good pattern, and one lovely dress.

In that order, I bought, picked and sewed them.

Jeste da sam obećala sebi da treba sređivati garderobu, da nešto sa nečim ide, ali u haosu kojem smo trenutno (sređivanje jedne kuće, davno spakovane stvari u kutije u drugoj) ne znam odakle da počnem niti da li da uopšte počinjem dok se ne preselimo. A to znači da sam nešto počela, ali mi loše ide... Sa druge strane treba šiti od materijala kojih imam u zalihama, a i to uspevam loše jer mi baš treba nešto sasvim drugo od onoga što imam... A treće stvar je da treba da šijem jednobojne materijale jer mi takvih stvari najviše fali, ali i tu se slabo šta kreće ka uspehu...

Sve u svemu, definitivno je da sam neuspešna u ciljevima koje sam postavila. No, to me svakako ne sprečava da šijem ono što mi se svidi.

Yes, I promised myself that I needed to sort out my wardrobe, that I could more combine, but in the chaos, we are currently in (renovation of one house, long ago packed things in boxes in another) I don't know where to start or even to begin until we move. And that means I started something, but I'm doing that poorly ... On the other hand, it needs to be sewed from the materials I have in stock, and I manage it poorly because I just want something completely different from what I have ... And the third thing is that I need to sew monochrome materials because I miss these things the most, but I procrastinate...

Overall, it is definitely that I am unsuccessful in the goals I set. But it certainly doesn't stop me from sewing what I like.

Ovaj materijal sam kupila polovinom juna, a došla sam tada u radnju sa namerom da kupim materijal za suknju i kupila čak dva, naravno šarena. U međuvremenu sam se predomislila i sašila od ovoga haljinu.

I purchased this fabric in mid-June, came to the store intending to buy fabric for a skirt and bought two, of course colorful. In the meantime, I changed my mind and sewed this dress.

Model je broj 104 iz oktobarskog izdanja Burda magazina za 2018. godinu. 

U časopisu se nalaze dve haljine sličnog kroja, a materijal koji je preporučen se razlikuje od materijala koji sam ja koristila tako da moja haljina drugačije pada u donjem delu. 

Nisam se trudila da uklapam boje i linije na materijalu jer je to bilo nemoguće s obzirom na smerove linija i nejednake dezene, tako da su se negde slučajno poklopile linije, a negde ne.

Što se rukava tiče, morala sam da skratim i suzim prvobitno planirane iz časopisa jer nisam imala dovoljno materijala za njih. Moja mišljenje je da ovi bolje pristaju uz ovaj materijal, ali sam se dvoumila da stavim ipak kratke rukave.

Haljinu na slikama možete videti sa pojasom i bez, a ja ne mogu da se odlučim koja varijanta je bolja. 

The model is No. 104 from the October 2018 issue of Burda Magazine.

There are two similar patterns in the magazine, and the recommended fabric is different from the material I used so that my dress falls differently in the bottom.

I didn't bother to match the colors and lines on my dress because it was impossible given the directions of the lines and the uneven patterns so that the lines somewhere coincided and not.

As for the sleeves, I had to shorten and narrow down planned initially from the magazine because I didn't have enough fabric for them. It is my opinion that these fit better with this material, but I was hesitant to put on short sleeves. 

You can see the dress in the pictures with the belt and without, and I can't decide which one is better.

Na slikama u nastavku možete videti u celom kako haljina pristaje.

In the pictures below, you can see how the dress fits me.

Nadam se da vam se svidela haljina.

I hope you liked the dress.

Žuta haljina/The yellow dress

Haljine volim više od svega u svojoj garderobi, pogotovo lepršave i lagane. 

Od kako pišem blog, šila sam više od 30 haljina, to znači da je za te nešto više od dve i po godine, novih haljina u mom ormaru toliko. Sad mi to deluje kao mala cifra, ali kad pomislim da je to jedna količina u mojoj garderobi, deluje mi dovoljno. Prošle godine bloga sam sašila upola manje nego prve godine, a ova haljina je tek prva haljina u trećoj godini bloga.

I love dresses more than anything in my wardrobe, especially when they are fluttering and light.

Since I'm writing this blog, I've made more than 30 dresses, which means that for just over two and a half years, so many new dresses are in my closet. Now, it seems to be a small number, but when I think that it's a quantity in my wardrobe, I think, it's enough for that period. In the last year of my blog, I sewed less than in the first year, and this dress is just the first dress in the third year of the blog.

Ova haljina je rađena po modelu 112 iz Burda časopisa za mesec novembar 2009. godine, ali sa malim izmenama, kao i uvek.

Malo je reći da sam dugo tražila odgovarajući materijal za ovaj model jer je on u planu za šivenje već 6-7 godina. Kupujem razne tkanine i uvek je sve bilo preče nego ova haljina, a sada sam je šila samo zbog svog zadovoljstva, definitnivno ne iz potrebe. 

This pattern is the model 112 from the Burda magazine for November 2009, but with small changes as usual.

It's a little to say that I've been looking for a long time for the right fabric for this model, as it has been planned for sewing for 6-7 years. Meanwhile, I bought a variety of materials, and something was always more important than that dress, and now I've been sewing it just for my pleasure, definitely not out of need.

Materijal od koga je haljina napravljena je viskoza u žutoj boji, kupljena za 5 eura na jednom od vašara tkanina. 

Model je ovde napravljen sa manjim izmenama, nešto sam oduzela, nešto dodala jer je moja ideja bila drugačija nego što je zamišljeno. Naime, dodala sam na dnu kraći nabrani deo i sad baš nisam sigurna da je bio potreban. Možda je moglo i bez toga, ali ne znam kako bi haljina izgledala. A sa druge strane, čini mi se da je taj deo suvišan, ali ne znam zašto. Medjutim, ja sam zadovoljna sa haljinom, čak sam se oduševila kad sam je obukla završenu.
The fabric from which the dress is made is viscose in yellow color, bought for 5 euros on one of the fabrics fair.
The model is here made with minor changes compared to the original, something I took away, added something else because my idea was a little bit different than designed. Namely, I have added on the bottom the ruffle, and now I'm not sure if that was needed. Maybe the dress could have been without it, but I don't know how the dress would look like then. And on the other hand, it seems to me that this part is surplus, but I don't understand why I have that feeling. However, I'm happy with the dress, I was even thrilled when I tried it for the first time.

Više slika mene u haljini se nalazi u nastavku. 

Da napomenem, nisam uspela da nađem odgovarajuće cipele u svom ormaru i ove na slikama su dobro poslužile. Mada možda sam neke previdela, ali svakako da moram u kupovinu cipela.

More pictures of me in the dress is below.

To mention, I didn't manage to find the appropriate shoes in my closet, and these on photos were well served. Although I may have lost sight of some, I certainly need to buy some new shoes.

Moram priznati, oduševljena sam haljinom od kako sam se prvi put videla u njoj, tako da sam  već izabrala materijal od koga ću napraviti bluzu koristeći ovaj model jer mi se ovi široki rukavi mnogo sviđaju.

I have to admit, I  love this dress since I first saw myself in it, so I already chose the fabric from which I will make a blouse using this model because I like these full sleeves very much.

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.

Greška/Mistake

Ova haljina je trebala da bude sasvim drugačija, tj. ono što sam prvo iskrojila, užasno mi je stajalo i nisam ga mogla popraviti pa je ovo na slikama prinudno rešenje.

No, sve u svemu, imam još jednu haljinu za leto.

This dress was supposed to be entirely different, that is, what I first cut out, was terrible, and I couldn't fix it, so this is a forced solution.

But, all in all, I have one more summer dress in my closet.

Materijal je prelepi pamuk, mekan, ali deblji. 

Prvobitni plan je bio da sašijem od njega haljinu na preklop, ali nisam našla odgovarajući kroj u odgovarajućoj veličini, a još da je prikladan za materijal.

Našla sam par krojeva koji su predviđeni ili za žersej ili neki laganiji materijal, tako da se nisam odlučila ni za jedan od njih.

Posle sam se odlučila za jedan kroj u kojem gornji deo ima v-izrez, međutim jako loše mi je pristajao i morala sam nešto da menjam. Taj deo nisam uspela da iskoristim, ali sam od ostataka materijala uspela ovo da iskrojim.

The fabric is cotton, soft but thicker.

The original plan was to sew a wrap dress, but I didn't find the suitable pattern in my size and to look good from this fabric.

I've found a couple of patterns that are foreseen either for a jersey or some lightweight fabric, so I didn't decide on one of them.

After I decided for a cut in which the upper part had a v-cut, however, it looked awful on me, and I had to change it. That part I didn't manage to use, but from the rest of the fabric, I sewed this what is in photos.

Ovaj gornji deo sam već par puta šila za par haljina pa je to u ovo slučaju, bila sigurna varijanta.

This upper part I already sewed a couple of times for some dresses, and in this case, was a safe option.

Kako haljina meni pristaje, možete da vidite na slikama ispod.

Nisam nezadovoljna, ali sam želela nešto drugo od ovog materijala, ali greške se dešavaju.

As the dress fits me, you can see in the photos below.

I'm not unhappy, but I wanted something different from this fabric, but mistakes happen.
