Za mog muža/For my husband

Ova priča je posvećena mom mužu, koji je trenutno na poslovnom putu i vraća se sutra. Nisam sigurna da će videti ovu priču pre nego što dođe kući, iako mi je to bio cilj, ali možda ipak malo kasnim (Radila sam svašta ovih dana, a trenutno još i pekmez od ribizla kuvam.).

This story is dedicated to my husband, who is currently on the business trip and returns tomorrow. I'm not sure if he will see this story before he comes home, although it was my goal, but maybe I'm a little late (I've been doing many things these days, and now I'm cooking a red currant jam).

Mi smo nešto više od godinu i po dana u braku, slučajno smo se sreli, bili prijatelji, a posle je sve teklo spontano - zajednički život, prosidba pre dve godine, jedno venčanje ovde, drugo u Novom Sadu... Kad sad sve sagledam, puno toga smo prošli zajedno za ove tri i po godine, a ostaje gomila sećanja.

We are more than a year and a half married. We accidentally met for three and a half years, then were friends awhile, and after that all was spontaneous - life together, proposal two years ago, one wedding here, another in Novi Sad ... When I see everything, we have experienced a lot together during these time - plenty of memories.

Naime, prošle godine sam dobila od muža prelepe crvene cipele. 

Namely, last year I got from my husband's beautiful red shoes.

Cipele su fantastične i zaslužuju dobru garderobu.

Do sada nisam šila ništa što bi uz njih moglo da se kombinuje mada imam par stvari u ormaru koje bi se lepo uklopile, a ovu bluzu sam već neko vreme planirala da šijem.

Materijal sam, naravno, imala na zalihama.

Model sam sama napravila koristeći jedan model koji sam već šila. Materijal je lagana viskoza, pomalo providna pa je ovakvo modeliranje bilo rešenje za sve to. 

Shoes are fantastic and deserve a good outfit.

Until now I didn't make anything that could be combined with them, though I have a couple of things in my closet to fit with, and I've been planning to cut this blouse for a while.

The fabric, of course, I had on stock.

This model, I made using a pattern that I have already sewed. The fabric is lightweight viscose, slightly transparent and this kind of modeling was the solution for all of that.

Moram priznati da nisam baš sigurna da mi ovakav model bluze, sa tankim bratelama, najbolje stoji, ali takva mi je bila zamisao i sprovela sam je u delo mada sam se nećkala.

I have to admit that I'm not entirely sure that this kind of blouse, with spaghetti straps, fits me the best, but that was my idea, and I realized it.

Sto se tiče suknje sa slika, ona je jedina stvar kojom sam se počastila kada se završio moj izazov o nekupovini garderobe (Kupila sam dvoje farmerica i koju belu majcu.). Možda nije idalna kombinacija crveno i sivo, ali meni se baš svidela ideja koju sam imala, a sa cipelama sve dobija svoj poseban izgled.

As for the skirts in the pictures, it is the only thing that I was honored when finished my challenge of not-buying wardrobe (I bought two pairs of jeans and a few white t-shirts.). Maybe it's not a right combination of red and gray, but I really liked the idea I had, and with the shoes, all got a unique look.

Nadam se da vam se svidela kombinacija, a ja čekam muža sutra da čujem šta će reći.
Do sledećeg čitanja
I hope you liked the combination, and I'm waiting for my husband tomorrow to hear what he will say.

3/4 pantalone/3/4 pants

Ko me prati, zna da sam prošle godine šila sličan model, tj. zakasnila sam za prošlo leto sa tim pantalonama, a ove godine sam rešila da šijem ponovo isti model.

Jednostavno, sviđa mi se kroj.

(Mala tajna: Šiću ga još jednom u skorije vreme, i to opet u ovoj dužini.)

Whoever follows me knows that I made a similar model last year, that is, I was late for the summer with these pants, and this year I decided to sew the same pattern again.

Simply, I like the cut.

(Little Secret: I'll sew it one more time this summer and again in this length.)

Prethodne pantalone su u priči Prekasno/Too late i crvene su boje, a ovaj materijal sam već koristila i šila od njega pantalone kao Test i imam ga još bar za suknju.

Model je iz Burde za mesec mart 2012. broj 112.

Razlika između ovih i crvenih pantalona je ta što sam za crvene koristila broj 38, a za ovaj model sam koristila broj 40 i naravno, prilagodila ih sebi. Razlika je neznatna, ove plave su samo malo šire.

The previous pants are in the story Prekasno/Too late in red color, and this fabric has already been used in the story Test, still have it enough for a skirt.

The model is from Burda Magazine for March 2012. No. 112.

The difference between these and the red pants is that I used size 38 for red, and for this model, size 40 and, of course, adjusted them to my body shape. The difference is slight, these blue are only slightly wider.

Na slikama se nalaze pantalone u dve kombinacije, ali obe su sa belim gornjim delom, zavisno od željenog stila prikazanog na slikama.

There are two combinations in the photos, but they look similar, both with the white top, depending on the style shown in the images.

Druga kombinacija sa patikama

The second combination with sneakers

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.

Flamenco haljine/dresses

Sad već ne mogu da se setim kada je počela ova priča, ali znam kako je počela, kako je tekla i da su haljine bile početkom meseca maja završene. 

Priča je počela tako da me je moja prijateljica Claudia (priča o haljinama za nju je takođe na blogu) pitala da li bih ja možda šila haljine za flamenco jednoj njenoj koleginici sa posla. Ja ne šijem nikome sem sebi, i možda pokoji poklon, ali ne šijem drugima i ne verujem da ću se ikada upustiti u to jer naprosto nisam krojačica, ja sam samo samouki uživalac šivenja.

No, pristala sam da se čujem sa devojkom kojoj je trebala haljina i ona me ubedila da probamo. 

Now I can't remember when this story started, but I know how it started, how it flowed and that the dresses were at the beginning of May completed.

The story began so, my friend Claudia (the story about her dresses was also on my blog) asked if I might sew flamenco dress to one of her workmates. I don't sew anyone except to myself, and maybe something as a present, but I never sew to other people, and I don't believe I'll ever go into, because I'm not a seamstress, I'm just a self-taught sewing lover.

But I agreed to hear the girl who needed a dress, and she convinced me to try.

Na slikama ispod su Etida i Matina, dve devojke koje amaterski plešu flamnco u jednoj trupi i haljine su bile njima potrebne.

Na slikama su i gotove haljine koje sam sašila.

In the photos below are Etida and Matina, two girls who amateur dancing flamenco in one group and dresses were for them.

There are also two black dresses I've made on the photos.

Haljine su slični, ne identične.

Izrez oko vrata, rukavi i donji deo suknje su različiti, nešto je bila želja, nešto se naprosto nadovezalo na to, a ostalo šta najbolje svakoj pristaje.

Dresses are similar, not identical.

Neckline, sleeves, and skirts are different, something they want, something naturally followed up on it, and the rest is what best fits each.

Devojke su zadovoljne haljinama, što je i najbitnije.

The girls are pleased with the dresses, and that's the most important thing.

Flamenco je španski ples, o kome više možete pročitati OVDE.

Flamenco is a Spanish dance, about which you can read more HERE.

Na mom instagram profilu može da se vidi snimak devojaka kako plešu, a ispod je par slika.

On my Instagram profile can be seen the recording of girls dancing, and below are a few pictures.

Moram priznati, pribojavala sam se prilikom šivenja kako će to sve izgledati jer sa tehničke strane je trebalo uraditi neke stvari da bi se moglo u haljini kretati i plesati najbolje moguće (volani, rukavi, dužina tela haljine i donji deo suknje).

Na kraju je rezultat odličan i drago mi je da sam prihvatila ovo.

Hvala mnogo Etidi i Matini na poverenju.

I have to admit, I was afraid during sewing how will all look at the end, as from the technical side of pattern is supposed to do some things that make it possible in the dress to dance the best possible (the ruffles, the sleeves, the length of the body and the bottom of the skirt).

In the end, the result is excellent and I'm glad I accepted this sewing.

Many thanks, Etida and Matina
