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!

Omiljeni kroj/The favorite pattern

Priča o košuljama se nastavlja.

Kao što već napisah, rešila sam da menjam dosta u svojoj garderobi, a sa druge strane, pokušavam da nađem odgovarajuće modele za sebe. Počela sam sa košuljama, a koristim za sada materijale koje već posedujem. 

The story about shirts continues.

As I already wrote, I decided to change quite a lot in my wardrobe, and on the other hand, I'm trying to find the right patterns for myself. I started with button-down shirts, using fabrics that I already own.

Košulje sam prvi put šila 2007. godine koristeći krojeve iz Burde, a godinu dana posle toga sam ih imala 40-tak. Tada sam se pripremala za posao u osnovnoj školi kao nastavnik matematike (Moje primarno zanimanje je matematičar, to sam studirala i završila.) i košulje su mi bile idealne kao radna uniforma. Nažalost, nisam uspela da pronađem trajan posao u toj struci, a od tadašnje sašivenih košulja ostala mi je tek po koja u ormaru (Ostale sam poklonila.). 

Posle tog perioda sam vrlo retko šila košulje, tek nekoliko, ali ne više od 10-tak.

I sewed in 2007 for the first time button-down shirts using patterns from Burda, a year after I have had around 40 in my wardrobe. Then I was preparing myself for a job in elementary school as a teacher of mathematics (My primary profession is a mathematician, I studied mathematics and finished it.) And the shirts were ideal for me as a work uniform. Unfortunately, I didn't manage to find a proper job in that profession, and from then made button-down shirts remained only a few in my closet (Other I gave out.).

After that period, I rarely sewed shirts,  but no more than 10.

Ovaj model košulje je jedan od mojih onda omiljenih modela koje sam šila. Kroj je iz Burde za januar 2007. godine pod brojem 102. 

Materijal koji sam koristila je čist pamuk, kupljen na vašaru materijala pre koju godinu.

This shirt model is one of the then-favorite models I've been sewing. The pattern is from Burda Magazine for  January 2007, No. 102.

The fabric I used is pure cotton, bought on the fair a few years ago.

Na slikama u ovoj priči možete videti kako model izgleda i kako meni pristaje.

In the pictures, you can see how the shirt looks like and how it fits.

Proleće/The spring

Nekoliko puta sam već pisala kako mi nedostaje gornih delova (bluza, majci, ...) u mom ormaru, kako ih najređe šijem, i kako ne znam zašto to radim, ali moram da menjam nešto.

Onda sam u poslednjem tekstu pisala kako stvarno nešto moram da menjam u mojoj garderobi. i da sam previše šarena, i da ne mogu da sparim stvari, i da još uvek imam mnogo materijala, pa sam od toga i počela.

Trenutno, već duže mogu reći, pokušavam da nađem odgovarajući kroj za sebe, a tiče se košulja, bluza i pantalona. Kilaža mi se promenila, a sa tim i proporcije i zbog toga moram da prilagođavam krojeve i nađem najbolji za sebe. Proteklih dva meseca sam isprobla par krojeva i sada slede priče o njima, a ovo je samo prva od njih.
I already wrote several times that I miss the top parts (blouses, button-down shirts...) in my closet, as I barely sew them, and I need to change something about it.
Then I wrote in the last text that I really have to change something in my wardrobe, and that it is too colorful, and I can't match garments together, and that I still have a lot of fabrics in my stash, so I started to do anything.
Currently, I can say for a while, I'm trying to find the proper cut for myself, and it's about a shirt, blouse, and pants. My weight has been changed, the proportions also, and therefore, I have to alter patterns and find what best fits me. For the past two months, I've tried a couple of models and now follow stories about them. This is just the first of them.

Kao prvo moram da naglasim, materijal sa slika je predivan. Mislim da još nisam naletela da me nešto toliko oduševilo kvalitetom, a da sam ga nabavila za vrlo malo novca (Na poslednjem vašaru tkanina sam kupila ovaj i još dva po 6€ komad od 1,60m. - Uglavnom tako kupujem ovde.).

Materijal je prelep, a nisam šila haljinu. I to je jedna od stvari koju kočim ove godine. Naime, pokušavam da šijem ono što mi je potrebno, a ne ono što mi prvo padne na pamet, a nije mi potrebno u ovom momentu. Zbog toga je od materijala nastala košulja, a ja sam samo jednom zažalila zbog toga (Stvarno mi ne treba još jedna haljina.).

First of all, I have to mention that this fabric is too beautiful. I don't think that I have ever found something, that I was so delighted with quality that I bought it for very little money (I bought this one at the last fabrics fair (and two more) for € 6 a piece of 1.60m.).

The fabric is utterly fascinating, and I didn't make a dress. That's also one of the things I try not to do this year. Namely, I try to sew what I need, not what comes to my mind first, and I don't need it at that moment. That's why from this material is made this button-down shirt, and I only regretted it once(I really do not need another dress.).

Model za ovu košulju je običan model za košulju bez ikakvih ušitaka, a ja sam dodala faltu pozadi.

Kao što napisah na početku, pokušavam sa raznim krojevima i njihovim izmenama. 

Košulja je predviđena da bude šira i duža nego obično, a na slikama možete videti kako mi pristaje.

The model for this shirt is an ordinary button-down shirt model without any darts, and I only added a pleat in the back.

As I wrote at the beginning, I'm trying with different cuts and their edits.

The shirt is intended to be broader and longer than usual, and in the pictures, you can see how it fits.

U poslednje vreme dosta eksperimentišem sa jednostavnim krojevima. To se naravno ne vidi, ali verujte mi, uopšte nije lako sašiti nešto što vam u potpunosti pristaje (Stoji kao saliveno.) ako niste neke standardne građe. Naravno da će onaj koji zna o čemu pričam primetiti šta je možda trebalo drugačije, a meni je dovoljno da ja znam šta bih još promenila.

Sve u svemu, zadovoljna sam košuljom - prelepa mi je.

Do sledećeg čitanja.

Lately, I've been experimenting with simple cuts. Of course, this can not be seen, but believe me, it's not easy to make anything that completely fits you if you don't have standard proportions. Of course, the one who knows what I'm talking about will notice what may have been different, and to me, it's enough to know what more I could change.
All in all, I'm happy how this shirt turned out.

Izazov - broj 3/The challenge - number 3

Završila sam drugi izazov pre koji dan, što ste mogli pročitati u prethodnom tekstu, ali još pre kraja  tog izazova sam znala da me očekuje novi. Nisam bila uspešna koliko sam želela tako da je ostalo još par stvari koje me opterećuju.

Naime, izazovi mi služe da rešim neke problematične stvari koje se tiču moje garderobe, tj. odnosu prema kupovini odeće, odnosu prema svom telu i garderobi, planiranju i potrebama vezanim za moju odeću, a obuhvatali su do sada takođe moje šivenje u pogledu kupovine tkanina. 

A few days ago I finished my second challenge, what you can read about in the previous text, but even before the end of that challenge, I knew that a new one needs to be done. I was not as successful as I wanted, so there are a few more things left that burden me.

Namely, the challenges help me to solve some problematic things that concern my clothes, i.e., my attitudes about buying clothes, correlation of my body and wardrobe, planning and needs related to my clothes, and so far have included my sewing in terms of buying fabrics.

U ovom trenutku, čak i duže, me brinu dve stvari u vezi mog ormara i mog šivenja. 

Prva stvar je ta da mi fali osnovnih komada u mom ormaru. Pod osnovnim komadima podrazumevam odeću koja se lako kombinuje sa nečim drugim od komada garderobe. Tu se radi najviše o bluzama, pantalona, suknjama i jaknama. 

Pretežno šijem vrlo specifične dezene, ali i modele i ne trudim se da sparim nešto sa nečim. Obično sparujem garderobu sa cipelama, ali to baš i nema puno veze sa mogućnosti kombinovanja odevnih predmeta, tako da pod hitno moram da menjam pogled na šivenje i da to radim obazirući se na već postojeće stvari u mom ormaru.

At this moment, even longer, I am concerned about two things about my clothes and my sewing.

The first thing is that I miss the basic items in my closet. Under essential pieces, I mean clothing that is easily combined with another item of clothing. It refers mostly to blouses, trousers, skirts, and jackets.

I predominantly sew very specific patterns, models also and don't bother to match them with something else. I usually match clothing with shoes, but that doesn't really have much to do with the possibility of combining garments, so I need to change the look at sewing under urgency, and to do this, taking care of already existing garments in my wardrobe.

Druga, vrlo bitna stvar, je moja kupovina materijala. 

Dešava mi se da skoro uvek kupim 4-8 materijala i da do sledeće kupovine ne uspem sve da sašijem (pola uvek ostane u zalihama) pa ponovo kupim još toliko i desi mi se ista stvar. Tako se nepregledni niz kupovine i šivenja pola od kupljenih tkanina nastavlja, a na taj način se samo povećavaju moje zalihe, tako da nije ni čudo da sam došla do stanja u kome sam. Mislim na zalihe, ogromne su i nemam više mesta za dodatne.

Another significant thing is my purchase of fabrics.

It happens that I almost always buy 4-8 fabrics (approximately 7-12 m) and until the next purchase I am not able to sew everything from that (half always stays in stock), and I buy again so much, and the same thing happens. That repeat of buying and sewing half of the purchased fabrics continues, and in that way only my supplies are increased, so it's no wonder that I came to the state I am in now. It is about my fabric stock, it is enormous, and I have no extra space for more.

Zbog dva, gore navedena razloga, došla sam do ideje za novi izazov. 

Narednih godinu dana smem da kupujem materijale samo za osnovne odevne predmete i samo onda kad sam sašila sve iz prethodne kupovine.

Najiskrenije, ovo je neizbežno. U poslednjem tekstu sam napisala da sam kupila nešto materijala, tj. iz dva puta sam kupila, zajedno sabrano, 7 materijala za bluze i 5 za pantalone. To je 12 odevnih predmeta (a možda mi ostane i za nešto više) i dok njih ne iskoristim ne smem da kupim niti jedan metar tkanine.

Kao i kada se radilo o prethodnim izazovima, svesno se prihvatam ograničenja i učiniću sve da uspem u tome da ih se pridržavam. (Postavila sam si i neke druge izazove, ali o tome će biti reći u nekim narednimm mesecima.)

For the two reasons mentioned above, I came up with an idea for a new challenge.

For the next year, I can buy fabrics only to use them for basic garments, and only when I have sewed everything from the previous purchase.

Honestly, this is inevitable. In the last text, I wrote that I bought some fabrics, i.e., all together, 7 fabrics for blouses and 5 for trousers. These are 12 clothing items (and maybe something more), and until I use them, I cannot buy any meter of fabric.

As with previous challenges, I consciously accept the limitations and will do everything to succeed in adhering to them. (I set some other challenges to me, but about that will be written in some of the following months.)

Na slikama koje slede, mogu da se vide nekoliko slika preuzetih sa Pinterest-a, a radi se o inspiracijama za neka buduća dela. U ovom trenutnku mi nedostaju bluze, košulje i pantalone u mojoj garderobi, a svakako da mi treba još koja suknja i jednostavna (jednobojna) haljina.

In the pictures below, from Pinterest, several clothing items can be seen, and these are the inspirations for some future work. At this moment, I do not have enough blouses, button-down shirts, and pants in my closet, and indeed, I need some skirts and simple (monochrome) dresses.

 

Poželite mi sreću da uspem u svojoj nameri jer mi je garderoba trenutno u vrlo šarenom haosu iz koga moram da se izvučem. (Čim se preselimo i sredim ormar za cipele, moraću i povodom toga nešto da menjam, ali o tome uskoro.)

Wish me luck to succeed in my intention because my closet is currently in very colorful chaos from which I have to get out. (As soon as we move and get a closet for my shoes, I have to change something about that too, but about that soon.)
