Nešto obično/Basic

Bilo je i vreme da šijem nešto obično, osnovno, nešto što uz sve ide, ...

Već sam pisala o tome kako ne šijem osnovne komade koji se lako kombinuju ili još bitnije za mene, koji se lako uklapaju u (moju) garderobu pa sam se tako odlučila za ovaj džemper (Svaki početak je težak.).

It was time for me to sew something basic, something that goes with everything, ...

I have already written about how I don't make basic pieces that are easy to combine or more important for me, which easily fit into (my) wardrobe so I decided to make this sweater (Every begin is hard.).

Materijal sam (naravno) kupila sa planom da šijem haljinu od njega, ali zbog strukture i kvaliteta sam se bojala da bi mogao da se razvuče previše. 

Drugi plan je bio da šijem sličnu vestu kao što je prikazana u priči https://ormarjednejelene.blogspot.de/2017/07/light-green.html, ali za to imam već pripremljen jedan materijal, a nisu mi potrebne još dve takve veste (imam još i sličnu tamno ljubičastu https://ormarjednejelene.blogspot.de/2016/10/jednostavna-siroka-sarena-suknja-simple.html).

Ovaj džemeper je tek treća opcija za ovaj materijal.

(of course) I bought this fabric with the plan to make a dress from it, but because of its structure and quality, I was afraid it could be to stretch.

The second plan was to sew a similar cardigan as shown in the story https://ormarjednejelene.blogspot.de/2017/07/light-green.html, but for that model, I have already prepared one blue fabric and I don't need two more (blue) cardigans (I have a similar one in dark purple https://ormarjednejelene.blogspot.de/2016/10/simple-siroka-sarena-suknja-simple.html).

This sweater was just the third option for this fabric.

Pokušala sam da iskoristim jedan kroj koji mi je bio interesantan, ali sam ga na kraju potpuno izmenila i prilagodila džemper svojoj građi.

Džemper je urađen korišćenjem overlock-a, a samo sam dodadto mašinom za šivenje prošila lajsnu oko vrata koristeći ravan bod.

I tried to use one pattern that was interesting to me, but I completely changed it and adjusted the sweater to my body shape.

The sweater was made using the overlock, and I just added around neckline a straight stitch using the sewing machine.

Kad se završio moj izazov, kupila sam dvoje farmerica, a na slikama su jedne od njih u kombinaciji sa ovim džemperom i patikama.

When my challenge ended, I bought two pairs of jeans, and in the pictures is one of them in combination with this sweater and sneakers.

Crvena suknja/Red skirt

Volim crvenu boju... Više volim plavu, ali odmah posle nje je crvena...

I love the red color ... I love blue more, but right after it is red ...

Ovu suknju sam imala u planu za šivenje još prošle godine i nisam stigla. Nisam ja veliki ljubitelj suknji i donjih delova (sem farmerica koje sam upravo skontala da ih volim), ali su mi potrebni. 

Naime, teško mi je često iskombinovati donje i gornje delove da ja sama budem zadovoljna sa dobijenim. Imam klasičan oblik kruške (ne volim te oblike i ta razvrstavanja, ali je tako najlakše objasniti), sa jačim donjim delom, a sitnim gornjim pa iz tog razloga prečesto pribegavam nekim rešenjima za koje ja mislim da su sigurna.

This skirt was in my plans for sewing last year and I didn't make it. I'm not a big fan of the skirts and the bottoms (except jeans, I just realized, I love them) but I need them.

Namely, it is difficult for me to combine bottoms and tops so that I'm happy with the result. I have a classic pear shape (I don't like these shapes and sorts, but it's easier to explain what I want to say.), and for that reason, I too often resort to some solutions that I think are safe.

Materijal je pamučni puplin u jarko crvenoj boji, a imala sam ga na zalihama i to nekih 80-90 cm (Sad ne mogu tačno da se setim.).

Model sam donekle sama osmislila, a onda zbog ušitaka pozadi iskoristila jedan kroj iz Burde. 

Iako sam planirala da suknja bude ravnog kroja, više sam se oslonila na kroj koji sam koristila pa je zbog toga suknja pomalo A kroja. (Postoji u jednoj od Burdi i kroj za suknju kakvu sam ja planirala, ali nisam uspela da ga nađem u mojih 150 časopisa.)

Ušitke su tu baš zbog odnosa obila struka i kukova, a da ne bi bilo previše nabora i viška materijala pozadi. 

Pojas je ovako planiran, na liniji struka (Iako to najmanje volim.).

Ostavila sam na gornjoj ivici 1,5 cm viška materijala (plus 3 cm pri krojenju) i prošila liniju pre prišivanja pojasa za suknju. Rupice za traku za vezivanje bih inače uradila na mašini, ali sam imala viška karika, koje sam kupila za detalj na prethodnim pantalonama, pa sam njih iskoristila. U pojas sam stavila gumu 4,5 cm širine i prema tome napravila pojas.

This fabric is a cotton poplin in bright red color, and I had it in my stock, some 80-90 cm (I don't know it now.).

The model I designed almost completely alone, and then, because of darts on the back of the skirt, I used a cut from Burda Magazine.

Although I was planning to have a straight cut, I was more reliant on the pattern I used, so the skirt has A-line form. (There's in one of Burda Magazines pattern for the straight cut skirt with back darts, which I've planned, but I couldn't find it when I needed, in my 150 journals.)

I wanted to put the darts on the back, just because of the width of the waist and hips, and not to have too many wrinkles and excess fabric on the back between waist and hips.

The waistband is as planned, on the waistline (although I love that at least).

I put on the upper edge 1,5 cm of excess material and stitched it before joining waistband to the skirt. Holes for the bow tie would otherwise be done on the sewing machine, but I had more metal eyelets with washers, which I bought for the previous pants, so I used them. I put the elastic in the waistline 4,5 cm wide and the waistband is because of that 4,5 cm wide (plus 1,5 cm).

Razlog za moje šivenje je uvek nešto (uglavnom cipele, ali ima izuzetaka). 

Ovaj put između ostalog, manjak jednostavnih i običnih donjih delova za lako kombinovanje (Hitna situacija!), a glavni razlog je ova majca sa lubenicama koju sam kupila prošle godine. Kao što već napisah, nisam uspela prošle godine suknju da sašijem, pa je tek sada na blogu i u mom ormaru.

The reason for my sewing is always something (mostly shoes, but there are exceptions).

This time, among other things, the lack of simple and ordinary bottoms for easy combining (Emergency Situation!), and the main reason is this t-shirt with watermelons print I bought last year. As I already wrote, I didn't succeed in sewing this skirt last year, so it's now in my closet.

Ja sam uz suknju iskombinovala običnu pamučnu majcu sa printom i uz to patike, ali mislim da suknja može dobro da ide uz razne gornje delove i obuću.

I'm wearing a skirt in combination with a plain cotton print t-shirt and sneakers, but I think the skirt would look good in combination with various tops and shoes.

Pripremam se da šijem sličnu suknju, ali ovaj put ravnog kroja i u plavoj boji, što će uskoro i na blogu biti.

Preparing to sew a similar skirt, but this time straight-cut and in blue, which will soon be on the blog.

Tufnice/Polka dots

Još uvek eksperimentišem sa krojevima pantalona tj. pokušavam da pronađem svoju formulu koju ću da primenjujem na sve pantalone koje budem šila.

'Formula' znači niz izmena koje bih primenjivala na svaki model pantalona od nerastegljivog materijala. Ponekad se namučim da korigujem sve što bi trebalo bolje da izgleda nego što je u datom momentu. (Ne sećam se da sam pre imala problema sa tim, mada sam pre više se pouzdavala u instinkt, a trenutno se orijentišem na znanje i saznanje o krojevima.)

Still experimenting with the pants patterns, I'm trying to find my own formula that I'll apply on all the pants I sew.

'Formula' means a series of changes I would apply to every pants model of no stretch fabrics. Sometimes I have difficulties to fix everything that should look better than it is at a given moment. (I don't think I've had before any problems with that, although I was more rely on instinct, and I'm currently paying more attention to my knowledge about cuts.)

Istina je da sam baš zbog pantalona počela da šijem. Nikako nisam mogla pronaći odgovarajući par da bi mi savršeno stajao, a u poslednjih skoro 20 godina sam kupila dvoje pantalona (Naravno, brojim ovde samo one od nerastegljivih materijala.) i jedne od sestre nasledila (Pakovala sam garderobu zbog (ne)skorašnje selidbe pa sam ih primetila.), sve ostale sam sama šila. 

Inače, kad kupujem pantalone, kupujem od rastegljivog materijala, a farmerice moraju takođe da imaju elastina u sastavu materijala od kojeg su. 

The truth is that I started to sew because of pants. I couldn't find the right pair to fit perfectly.

In the last 20 years, I bought only two pairs of pants (Of course, I count only those of no stretch fabrics.) and one of my sisters inherited (I packed the wardrobe for (no)recent moving so I've noticed them.), all others I sewed myself.

Otherwise, when I buy pants, I buy from stretch fabric, and jeans must also have elastin in the composition of the fabric.

Ovaj model je zamišljen kao lagane letnje pantalone.

This model is designed as a lightweight pants for summer.

Koristila sam jedan kroj iz Burde, ali sam ga toliko izmenila da ne vredi ni da pominjem koji je broj ni model. 

Pojas sam sama iskombinovala u dve boje i sa trakom za vezanje (to mi je i bio plan) da bi izgledao zanimljiviji, a svakako je guma u pojasu.

I used one of the Burda's magazines, but I changed so much that I would not mention the number or model.

I combined the waistband in two colors and with a bow (that was the plan) to make it look more interesting, and also an elastic band is in the waistband.

Materijal sam kupila prošle jeseni, ali (naravno) za haljinu.

Sad možda i malo žalim što nisam sašila haljinu od njega, mada su mi pantalone i uopšte donji delovi preko potrebni u garderobi.

I bought this fabric last fall, but (of course) for a dress.

Now, I'm maybe a little bit sorry I didn't make the dress from it, though pants and bottoms are more needed in my wardrobe.

Pantalone su udobne i lagane, a ja sam zadovoljna kako mi stoje i izgledaju.

Problem je što sad ili ne znam ili nemam sa čim da ih iskombinujem (Imam već neki plan šta za njih sašiti.).

The pants are comfortable and lightweight, and I'm very pleased how they fit and look.

The problem is that I don't know or don't have anything to combine with (I already have some plans for sewing something that will suit with pants.).

Eh da, kao što se da primetiti, posle skoro dve godine moja kosa je ponovo ravna. Takva je prirodno, a kovrdže su bile posledica minivala koji sam u dva navrata dala napraviti. Trenutno se ponovo privikavam na svoju prirodnu kosu, tj. ne znam šta bi sa njom. Videćemo do kada...

Well, after almost two years my hair is again straight. It is so natural, and the curls were the consequence of the perm I had made on two occasions. At this time, I'm getting back to my natural hair, so I don't know what to do with it. We'll see how long more ...

Drugačije/Different

Pre mesec dana kad sam krojila ovu bluzu, samo sam htela nešto široko, pomalo muški, neromantično, ne tipično ženski, ...

Takvo mi raspoloženje bilo... (Grozila sam se svake pomisli na volane, cvetne uzorke, uske i upečatljive krojeve... Imam ja često momente kad moje raspoloženje odlučuje šta ću šiti, pa sam možda zato i nepraktična i spora. Šijem samo ono što mi prija i kad mi prija, a da ne kažem kako nemam prepoznatljiv stil već šijem šta stignem - jedan dan ženstvena i romantična, drugi dan skroz opuštena.) 

Pa je tako nastala ova bluza...

A month ago when I tailored this blouse, I just wanted something wide, a masculine style, unromantic, not a typical female shirt, ...

Such my mood was ... (I was terrified of thinking of the ruffles, the floral patterns, the tight and striking cuts ... I often have moments when my mood decides what I'm going to sew, so maybe that's why I'm an impractical and slow seamstress. I sew what I want at the moment, more precisely stated, I don't have a recognizable style and my wardrobe is diverse - one day feminine and romantic, another day relaxed and edge.)

So this blouse was created ...

Ovaj materijal je već dugo u mojom zalihama, a planirala sam nešto sasvim drugačije od njega da šijem. Kao što napisah već, ovo je samo slučajno ovako ispalo. 

Pruge na materijalu su baš tog smera kao i na bluzi, a meni je to delovalo interesatno pa se nisam trudila da ih drugačije postavim. Nisam se ni trudila da uklopim linije na liniji preseka (ispod dela sa dugmadi postoji vodoravna linija spajanja sa donji delom bluze) napred i nazad jer ne bih uspela 100% to da uspem, linije nisu ravne i prave, a sa druge strane nisam ni želela, želela sam da se jasno primeti ta vodoravna linija. 

This fabric has been in my stock for a long time, and I've been planning something completely different from it to sew. As I already wrote, this is just product of my mood.

The stripes on the fabric had the same direction as on the blouse, and I liked it, so I didn't try to put them differently. I didn't even try to fit the lines on horizontal seam (below the button section is a horizontal seam connecting upper part with the bottom part of the blouse) of the front and back because I would not succeed 100% to match them, the lines aren't straight and proper, and on the other hand I didn't want to do that, I wanted to be visible that horizontal line.

Originalan kroj je model 101 iz Burda časopisa za mesec februar 2008.

Da napomenem originalan kroj je prilično ženstven i šila sam ga već, a u priči Izazov o mojom dotadašnjih stvarima je slika koju ću i ovde da postavim. (Originalan kroj nema gumu na liniji preseka, a ja sam je na bluzi stavila.)

Kao što se primeti, promenila sam kragnu i rukave, a sa te dve promene i različitih uzoraka materijala se napravila velika razlika u stilu.

The original pattern is the model 101 from Burda magazine for the February 2008.

To mention, the original is pretty feminine and I sewed it already, in the story Challenge are pictures of my past garments and of that blouse also. (However, the original model doesn't have a rubber band on the waist, but I put it on my blouse.)

As you can see, I changed the collar and sleeves, and with these two changes and different patterns and quality of fabric, is a big difference in style.

Kako bluza na meni izgleda može se videti na slikama koje slede.

(Posle 3 meseca sam ponovo stala pred kameru i za čudo imala sam tremu. Strašno!!! Ali uspeh da izaberem koju sliku.)

How the blouse looks on me can be seen in the following photos.

(After 3 months I was again in front of the camera and for a miracle, I had jitters, terrible !!! But I succeeded to choose some ok photos.)

Do sledećeg čitanja.

Until next reading.

Izazov - broj 2/Challenge - number 2

Prošle nedelje sam bila ubeđena da ovu priču neću napisati, ali sam odlučila da moram. 

Ideju sam imala još odavno i posle kraja prvog izazova sam odmah htela da počnem sa drugim (ovim) izazovom, ali se svašta toga izdešavalo i uz nedostatak vremena, cela priprema ove priče se otegla.

Uz to sam čekala da prođe 8. aprila, da odem na Stoffencircus (vašar materijal), na kojem još nikad nisam bila i bila sam pripremljena da ako mi se nešto svidi, da ću da se počastim pa nije bilo smisla pisati priču pre i onda prekršiti izazov.

Ali, sad sam spremna. 

Last week I was convinced that I will not ever write this story, but I decided to do it.

The idea I had long ago and after the end of the first challenge I immediately wanted to start with the second (this) challenge, but a lot went wrong and with the lack of time, the whole preparation of this story lasted until today.

In addition, I was waiting to April 8, to go to Stoffencircus (fair of fabrics), on which I have never been and I was prepared to buy something if I like it, so it did not make sense to write this story before and then to break the challenge.

But I'm ready now.

Naime, ja konstantno kupujem materijale.

Ne kupujem svakodnevno, ali kad kupujem, onda i preteram. Samo u martu sam iz Novog Sada došla sa 20-30 novih materijala (Zatvara se moja omiljena prodavnica.) za razne odevne predmete, a na pomenutom Stoffencircus-u sam kupila 9. To znači da sam samo u tih mesec dana kupila oko 40 metara raznoraznik tkanina.

Počela sam da pravim listu materijala ne bih li imala pregled koliko i šta imam na zalihama, ali sam posustala. Previše je, predala sam se, tako da je ostalo samo da procenim cifru. A po mojoj proceni, u mojom zalihama je oko 250 metara materijala. To je previše, čak i za mene.

Druga strašna stvar je da veliki broj materijala je tu u zalihama godinama, obično kupim 5 novih, a od toga od 2 sašijem nešto, a ostalo ostaje i gomila se.

Trenutno sam došla do situacije da imam previše i ideja koje već odavno nisam realizovala, imam i novih ideja, a malo šta stižem (kupili smo kuću pa je renoviramo, učim nemački, obavljam sve i svašta, a vreme leti), tako da mi se i ideje gomilaju. 

Ovih dana pokušavam da se organizujem, sredim sobu za šivenje, u fazi sam i pakovanja nekih stvari (kao što su materijali za zimske stvari jer se nadam da ćemo se do tada već preseliti pa ovde gde sam sada neću njih više šiti), a danas sam već postala jako nervozan jer je previše toga, a ja ne mogu to postići. Ja inače sporo i detaljno šijem, a sad sam već i ljuta na samu sebe jer je to tako i ne mogu tu ništa. Svesna sam koliko mogu, a i trenutni uslovi su takvi da mogu još manje nego inače.

Specifically, I constantly buy fabrics.

I don't buy every day, but when I buy, then I exaggerate. Only in March, I came from Novi Sad with 20-30 new fabrics (my favorite fabric store closes), and I bought 9 more at the Stoffencircus. That means I bought about 40 meters of various fabrics in one month.

I started to make the list of fabrics in my stock because I wanted to have a review how many I have until now, but I gave up. It's too much, I gave up, so it was just a question of estimating it. And in my estimation, in my stock is about 250 meters of fabrics. That's too much, even for me.

The other terrible thing is that a large number of fabrics have been in stock for years, usually, I buy 5 new ones, of which from 2 I made something, and the rest is accumulating.

At the moment I have come also to the situation that I have too many ideas that I haven't realized for a long time, I have some new ideas, and achieve very little od that (we bought a house so we renovate it, I learn German, do some other things, ...) and ideas are just more and more - I'm losing in them.

These days I try to organize myself, I'm making order in my sewing room and packing some things (like winter fabrics, because I hope we'll move until fall, so I will not sew them here anymore), and today I have become very nervous because there is too much to sew, and I can't accomplish all. I am slow and detailed in sewing, and I am now angry at myself because it is so. I know how much I can, and under current conditions, I could make even less than usual.

Zbog svega navedenog, započinjem novi izazov, a tiče se kupovine materijala.

Neka početak izazova bude 1. maj i pokušaću od toga datuma narednih godinu dana da ne kupim niti jedan metar materijala.

Naravno, mogu da kupim sve ono dodatno što je potrebno za sašiti određeni predmet, a to se odnosi na postavu, rajsfešlus, dugmad, sve vrste traka, ...

Na kraju, ipak se veselim ovom koraku.

Because of all this, I start a new challenge, in terms of purchasing materials.

Let the start of the challenge be May 1 and I try from that date one year not to buy even one meter of fabric.

Of course, I can buy everything that's needed to make a certain garment, such as lining, zipper, buttons, all kinds of bias tape and similar, ...

Finally, I'm looking forward to this step.

Uspela sam da napravim po koju sliku mojih materijala, koje ćete videti u nastavku. 

To su samo neki izabrani ili oni koji su bili bolji nego drugi za slikanje, neki čekaju godinama, a neki su tek kupljeni (mada one najsvežije nisam slikala). Među ovima ima mojih omiljenih materijala, ali ni ja ne znam što od njih nisam nešto sašila.

Ovde su prikazani samo materijali sa motivima, jednobojne sam izostavila jer nisu zanimljivi koliko ovi u nastavku prikazani.

I managed to make a few photos of my fabrics, which you will see below.

These are just some of them, or those who were better than others for taking photos, some of them are in stock for years, and some are just bought (although I forget most recently purchased). Among these are some of my favorites, but I don't know why they are still in this form.

Only fabrics with motives are shown here, I omitted monochrome fabrics because they are not as interesting as the following ones.

Materijali za haljine su u mojim zalihama najbrojniji. Ja obožavam haljine i kao što sam već mnogo puta napominjala, one su najbrojnije u mom ormaru. 

The fabrics for the dresses are in my inventory the most numerous. I worship dresses and as I have mentioned many times, they are the most numerous in my wardrobe.

 

Samo neki od materijala za kapute i jakne, s tim da sam nedavno kupila još tri nova.

Just some of the materials for coats and jackets, with the fact that I recently bought three more.

Materijali za suknje

Fabrics for skirts

Materijale za pantalone sam izostavila jer su uglavnom jednobojni.

I have left out fabrics the pants because they are mostly monochrome.

Materijali za bluze i košulje

Fabrics for blouses and shirts

I za kraj, materijali za kupaće kostime kojima se neizmerno radujem (poslednji je za mog supruga).

Finally, fabrics for swimsuits, which I look forward to (the last one is for my husband).

Od početka ove godine sam kupovala i materijale za donji veš (skubu, čipku, ...) koje nisam prikazala ovde, a u zalihama imam jos i materijala za džempere, veste, nešto i od trikotaže, ...

Since the beginning of this year I have also bought the fabrics for underwear (scuba, lace, ...) that I didn't show here, and in stock, have some more for a pullover, vest ...

Sve u svemu, previše je...

All in all, it's too much...

Na slikama u nastavku su neki od mojih planova za šivenje u naredno vreme (Slike su preuzete sa Pinterest-a, ne znam dizajnere niti marke, a Miroslava Duma mi je uvek inspiracija.).

Moram dodati da su slike samo inspiracija i da, kao i kod krojeva, najverovatnije neću ispratiti baš svaki detalj na njima. Meni se svidja ideja prikazana na slikama i ne moram baš potpuno sve ispratiti.

In the images below are some of my plans for sewing in the next time (Images are taken from Pinterest, I don't know designers or brands, and Miroslava Duma is always an inspiration.)

I have to add that the pictures are just inspiration and, as with the patterns, I will not copy exactly details on them. I like only the ideas shown in the photos.

1. Ja sam jaknu zamislila kao laganu dugu jaknu, a već imam spremljen materijal za nju. Planirala sam je od štepanog materijala sa paspul trakom okolo i srebrnim drikerima, a kupila sam štep postavu u crvenoj boji za karirani kaput i nisam je za to iskoristila. Postava je obostrano štepana i to tako da su zvezdice po njoj. Posebno mi se sviđa donji deo, napred kraće, a pozadi duže. / I imagine this jacket as a lightweight jacket, and already have the fabric for it. I was planning it out of a quilted fabric with a bias tape around and silver press-studs, and bought a red fabric for a coat lining and didn't use it. I especially like the bottom, on the front is shorter and on the back is longer.
2. Za odelo imam dva materijala, sivo i roze. Najverovatnije da ću šiti dva različita modela odela, što se tiče pantalona i sakoa. Dvoumim se da li da sašijem odelo od jednog cvetnog materijala koji je prethodno prikazan, ali ću onda verovatno morati da dokupim 1 metar materijala (ima ga još u lokalnoj radnji). / I have two fabrics for the suits, gray and pink. Most likely, I will sew two different suits, as far as pants and jackets are concerned. I wonder if I sew a suit of one floral fabric that was previously displayed, but I don't know if I have enough of it.
3. Model haljine na slici me oduševljava, ali je verovatno da deo suknje neću uspeti da izvedem u tim proporcijma zbog mojih mera, ali o tome ću razmišljati kad dođe red na tu haljinu. / The pattern of the dress in the photo is excellent, but it is likely that I will not be able to make a part of the skirt in those proportions because of my measures, but I will think about it when the turn comes to this dress.
4. Kombinezon od veštačke kože na Miroslavi Dumi odlično izgleda. Pre ove priče nisam obezbedila materijale za ove planove tako da mi ostaje da kombinezon pokušam sašiti od nekog materijala koji je u mojim zalihama. / The leather overall on Miroslava Duma looks great. Before this story, I didn't provide the fabrics for these plans so it remains to try to combine this make from some of the fabric that is already in my stock.
5. Haljina na slici je od neke vrste rastegljivog materijala, koji lepo pada, a ja se dvoumim da je uradim od nerastegljivog materijala, ali mi se ova sa slike baš sviđa. Mada možda i nađem nešto u svojim zalihama. / The dress is of some sort of stretchy fabric, which falls nicely, and I'm dying to do it from no stretch material, but I like this in the photo very much.
6. Pantalone širokih nogavica su moj san iako pantalone retko nosim. Pokušavam to da promenim već neko vreme. Kupila sam na Stoffencircus svetli teksas za njih. / The wide-legged pants are my dream though I rarely wear pants. I'm trying to change it for some time. I bought for them at the Stoffencircus a light blue denim.

1. Tako je trebala da izgleda moja venčanica, ali nisam našla odgovarajući materijal. Ako uspem naredni vikend u Novom Sadu da dokupim nešto tamno plavog na tufne koji može da posluži za to, sašiću je, inače radije bih je u ovoj krem boji šila. / I wanted to make my wedding dress look like that dress, but I didn't find appropriate fabric. If I make it the next weekend in Novi Sad to buy some more dark blue fabric that I already have, but not enough, I'll sew it. Though, I'd rather have it in beige.
2. Šivenje donjeg veša je jedan od mojih najvećih izazova u ovoj godini, a model sa slike je za mene idealan model. Jednostavan, a može biti vrlo zanimljiv, u zavisnosti od materijala koji se izabere i njegovog dezena. / Sewing lingerie is one of my biggest challenges this year, a model in the image is for me the ideal model. Simple and can be very interesting, depending on the fabric choice and its design.
3. Ovom kompletu se radujem i za njega već imam pripremljen šareni materijal, mešavine pamuka i lana. jedino mislim da ću napraviti malo kraće pantalone. / I am looking forward to this set and for it, I have already colorful fabric, a mixture of cotton and linen. I only think I'll make a little shorter pants.
4. Haljina na preklop je jedna od mojih neostvarenih želja, a za ovu skakako mislim, s obzirom na moju građu, da mi ne bi stajala, no želja je želja. / Wrap Dress is one of my unfulfilled wishes, and for this one, I think, with regard to my body shape, that it is not for me, but...
5. Kao što rekoh, Miroslava Duma mi je uvek inspracija, a za komplet sa slike imam pripremljen materijal, cvetni, puniji sa malo elastina. / As I said, Miroslav Duma is always my inspiration.
6. Poslednja stvar na ovom spisku je haljina koju nisam sašila prošle godine. Naravno da imam materijal sa cvećem, viskozu koju sam kupila pre 6 godina, a plave boje je. Lagana letnja haljina uvek dobro dođe. / The last thing on this list is a dress I didn't make last year. Of course, I have the flower fabric, the viscose in blue I bought six years ago. A light comfy dress is always good to have.

Nadam se da ću uspeti da sašijem sve što sam planirala, a ovih 12 slika nisu jedino što planiram šiti.

Moram i priznati, osećam se kao da sam još uvek u zimskom snu. Usled svih dešavanja koja su se desila, nisam puno razmišljala o šivenju za proleće, a ni o letu, a sve je već tu na vratima i ja sam nepripremljena. Ove nedelje sam napravila gomilu planova, a znajući sebe, još ću gomilu usput napraviti.
I hope I will succeed everything I plan, and these 12 photos are not the only things I'm planning to make.
I have to admit, I feel still like I'm in the winter dream. Due to all the happenings that have taken place, I didn't think much about sewing for spring or summer, and I'm unprepared. This week I made a pile of plans and knowing myself, I'm still gonna make a few.

Ovaj izazov je pokušaj da se nateram da budem praktičnija u vezi kupovine materijala, tj. da pokušam u budućnosti (možda posle sledećih godinu dana) da kupim materijal i sašijem, a tek onda kupujem novo. 

Nedavno mi se desilo u prodavnci materijala da sam se zaljubila u jedan vezeni pamuk, ali sam se suzdržala od kupovine i ma koliko meni žao bilo što ga nisam kupila, morala sam da počnem i sa tim - da kažem sebi ne.

Znam da ću doći u iskušenje, ali ne bi to bio izazov ako se to ne desi.

(Inače, moj suprug me pitao da li može on da mi pokloni koji materijal ako se meni baš svidi neki!? Slatko, zar ne!? Ali rekla sam da ne može. Ne mogu da pravim izuzetke i da računam na to da će on da mi kupi ono što mi se svidi.)

This challenge is an attempt to get me to be more practical about purchasing fabrics, ie. to try in the future (maybe next year) to buy the fabric and immediately sew, and only then I could buy a new one.
It happened recently that I fell in love with a cotton embroidery fabric, but I refused to buy it, and no matter how it was difficult for me I didn't buy it. I had to start with that - to say no to myself.
I know I'm going to be tempted, but it would not be a challenge if it doesn't happen.
(Anyway, my husband asked me if he could give me fabrics if I liked some! Sweet, isn't it? But I said that he can't, I can't make exceptions and count on him to buy what I like.)

Poželite mi sreću!!!!
Wish me luck!!!
