Krajem aprila meseca prošle godine sam napisala jedan tekst na blogu, a radilo se o još jednom izazovu - mom drugom izazovu za period od godinu dana posle prvog.
At the end of April last year, I wrote an article on the blog, and it was about another challenge - my second challenge for one year after the first challenge.
At the end of April last year, I wrote an article on the blog, and it was about another challenge - my second challenge for one year after the first challenge.
Prvi izazov sam uspešno završila, nisam kupila niti jedan komad garderobe za godinu dana, a nastavila sam u sličnom ritmu - ne kupujem skoro uopšte garderobu, već je šijem kad stignem.
Sa ove tačke gledišta, učinila sam sebi sa tim izazovom veliku uslugu. Ne odlazim po radnjama, kupim tek kad mi se nešto mnogo svidi, ne nerviram se više jer mi garderoba koja se može naći ne stoji kako bi trebalo već samo moje telo ne može da se uklopi u konfekcijske mere pa ne kupujem ništa što mi polovično pristaje.
Kao što se može zaključiti, prvi izazov je samo pozitivne stvari u moj ormar i novčanik doneo.
I successfully completed the first challenge, I didn't buy a single piece of clothing in a year, and I continued in a similar rhythm - I don't buy almost any wardrobe than I made it when I have time and the will.
From this point of view, I have made myself a great favor with that challenge. I don't go in the shopping, I only buy when I like something, I don't get nervous anymore because something that can be found doesn't fit me how it should nor my body cannot fit in ready-to-wear measures, and therefore I don't buy anything that half-fit me.
As you can conclude, the first challenge brought only positive things in my wardrobe and wallet.

Posle toga, došao je red da rešim još jedan problem koji je počeo da me opterećuje. Tada sam odlučila da proteklu godinu dana ne kupujem tkanine - niti jedan jedini metar. Sad videh da sam za datum početka izazova odredila 1.maj prošle godine pa pretpostavljam da je trebalo da izdržim do prvog maja ove godine.
Recimo da sam u tome uspela.
Naime, u protekle 3 nedelje su se u okolini gde živim održala dva vašara materijala i pošto se sledeći ponovo u blizini održavaju za 6-7 meseci, ja sam se odlučila da posetim ta dva, sad već za nama. Tkanine kupujem uglavnom na vašarima materijala jer mi je to prilika da se na jednom mestu nađe mnogo raznih vrsta materijala po vrlo povoljnim cenama. No, ako mi je baš nešto potrebno, posetim i obližnje radnje.
Sve u svemu, do početka aprila nisam kupila ni jedan metar materijala koji bih iskoristila za svoju garderobu, tako da smatram izazov uspešno završen.
After that, it was time for me to solve another problem that began to burden me. I decided not to buy fabrics for the year - not even one meter. Now I see that I set the start of that challenge on May 1st last year, so I guess I should have endured it to the May 1st of this year.
Let's say I succeeded.
Namely, in the past 3 weeks, in the surroundings where I live, I visited two fabrics fairs, and since the next one is again in 6-7 months, I decided to visit those two, in April. I buy fabrics mostly in markets because it is an opportunity for me to find many different materials in one place at very affordable prices. But if I need something urgent, I also visit nearby shops.
Overall, until the beginning of April, I didn't buy a meter of fabrics to use it for my wardrobe, so I consider the challenge to be completed successfully.

NAPOMENA: Što se tiče onoga što sam kupovala, bili su to materijali iskorišćeni za moj profil na BERNINA blogu. Stvari koje sam tamo šila su osmišljavane iz meseca u mesec i nisam imala materijale na zalihama, tako da je bilo neizbežno nabaviti ih.
NOTE: Regarding what I was buying, were the materials used for my profile on the BERNINA blog. Things there made have been designed from month to month, and I did not have the materials in stock, so it was inevitable to obtain them.

Sa druge strane, plan mi je bio da se rešim dobrog dela svojih zaliha materijala, ali u tome nisam bila dovoljno uspešna. S obzirom na splet svega što se dešavalo oko mene, pogotovo u 2018. godini, nisam mnogo šila (o čemu sam pisala u priči o 2. godini bloga).
Nije da nisam imala inspiracije, naprotiv, ali nisam imala volje i nije mi bilo potrebno više od onoga što sam uradila. Naravno da je lepo obogatiti svoj ormar sa novim komadima garderobe, ali kad mi se nije šilo - nisam.
Iz tog razloga su moje zalihe tkanina još uvek prevelike, o čemu ću pisati još u sledećem tekstu.
On the other hand, I planned to spend a big part of my fabrics, but I wasn't successful enough. Considering everything that happened around me, especially in 2018, I didn't do much sewing (I wrote about that in the story about the 2nd year of the blog).
It was not that I didn't have inspiration, on the contrary, but I didn't have the will, and I didn't need more than what I did. Of course, it's nice to enrich your wardrobe with new clothes, but when I didn't want to sew - I didn't do that.
For this reason, my stock is still too big, as I will write about in the next text.

Na slikama u nastavku su samo neki od materijala kojih sam se 'rešila' (a nalaze se u tekstu Izazov - broj 2.) i ono što je iz njih nastalo sledi u narednim slikama.
The pictures below are representing some of the projects I've finished from the fabrics from my stock (they can be found in the text Challenge - number 2).

(Moram priznati da me uvek fascinira, ne samo kad je u pitanju moje stvaranje, već i kad se radi o stvaranju drugih ljudi, u šta parče tkanine može da se pretvori.
Moja garderoba je već odavno mojih ruku delo, a ja sam samouka, šijem ono što mi se svidi ili što mi je potrebno i kad imam vremena, ovaj blog i šivenje mi nije posao, već samo zanimacija, ali zamislite tek što šta su sve u stanju da urade ljudi koji su potpuno posvećeni krojenju i šivenju.)
(I must admit that it always fascinates me, not only when it comes to my creation, but also when it comes to the creation of other people, in which a piece of fabric can be transformed.
My wardrobe is for a long time made by me, but I am self-taught, I sew what I like or what I need and when I have time, this blog and sewing is not my job, it's just a beautiful occupation - hobby, but imagine what are able to make people who are fully dedicated to tailoring and sewing.)

Što se tiče planova za šivenje koji su takođe napomenuti u pomenutom tekstu, nisam uspela da ih ispoštujem. Trenutno se osećam kao da sam ih potpuno zaboravila, što i nije baš netačno.
Inače, to je takođe jedna od stvari koju bih trebala da menjam - tj. da se potrudim da ispoštujem planove koje napravim. Neretko mi se desi da nešto isplaniram, a onda se vremenom predomislim i uradim nešto drugo. Na taj način dolazim do gomile nekih komada garderobe koje nastaju nevezane jedne za druge i koje teško da mogu sa ičim da uklopim.
Tako da, definitivno, moram da poradim na planiranju i realizaciji planova.
As for the sewing plans that are also mentioned in the mentioned story, I have not been able to comply with them. At the moment, I feel like I completely forgot them, which is not very wrong.
Otherwise, it's also one of the things I should change - i.e., to try to finish the plans I make. It's unfortunate that I'm planning something, and then I change my mind over time and do something different. In this way, I come to a bunch of clothes that are made unrelated to each other and which I can hardly be able to fit with anything.
So, definitely, I have to work on the planning and implementation of plans.

Na slikama sam označila samo dve stvari koje sam uspela da završim, a koje su predstavljene na njima. (Stidim se.) Iako sam za većinu imala tkanine na zalihama, nekako sam izgubila pojam o ovim planovima ili mi nisu bile potrebne te stvari pa ih nisam šila. Skoro sve sa ovih slika ostaje i dalje u mojim planovima, a o nekim drugima biće reči u nekoj od sledećih priča.
In the pictures, I marked only two things that I managed to finish, which were presented in them. (I'm ashamed.) Although for most I had fabrics in stock, I somehow lost the notion of these plans or I didn't need those things and I didn't sew them. Almost all of these things remain in my projects further, and about some others will be said in one of the following stories.

Za kraj priče o drugom izazovu, mogu samo još da dodam da je izazov prošao i iako sam uspela u njemu, nisam u potpunosti zadovoljna sa onim šta sam uradila. Još uvek imam previše materijala u zalihama i trebalo bih da nastavim da manje kupujem tkanine, ali pri tome više da šijem.
For the end of the story about the second challenge, I just like to add that the challenge is over and although I managed it, I'm not completely satisfied with what I've done. I still have too many fabrics in stock, and I should continue to buy materials less, but at the same time to sew more.
