Dragi čitaoci, novo izdanje Sew News časopisa je izašlo iz štampe, i zamislite moje iznenađenje kada sam videla svoju haljinu, poznatu pod nazivom Dots Invasion - Invazija tufni, na naslovnoj stranici! To zaista nisam očekivala! No, ne bunim se! ;-)
Haljinu sam sašila pre otprilike 2 godine, i postavila kroj za nju na BurdaStyle sajt. Od onda, haljina se pojavila u više varijacija, koje su me ostavile bez teksta. Bila sam fascinirana tkaninama, bojama, dezenima koji su korišćeni i koji su svakoj haljini dali jedinstven izgled. Moram priznati da nema lepše ni veće nagrade za trud nego kada vidite da ljudi širom sveta koriste vaš kroj i pokažu vam slike svojih divnih haljina.
Slika ispod je mali koaž koji sam napravila koristeći fotografije kreacija sa BurdaStyle sajta. Počev od gornjeg levog ugla (kliknite na sliku da je uvećate):
- vampiressrevenge; ova mlada dama je napisala i iscrpnu kritiku mog kroja na sajtu Pattern Review, pa budite slobodni da je pročitate.
- rebeccawoode; sve pohvale za njen trud, budući da je originalan kroj povećala za čak 5 brojeva, zadržavši dizajn haljine.
- emlj, koja je napravila nekoliko varijacija mojih krojeva, i ne mogu da se odlučim koja mi je lepša!
- robynemde; ovde mi se posebno dopada kontrast boja i dužina do kolena (mogla bih nešto slično da napravim!)
- pamlynch; pogledajte samo taj vatromet boja!
- kapuscin; ova varijacija je učinila haljinu klasičnom, spram moje gotovo avangardne verzije
- Meredith Ploughman; njena varijacija u divnom cvetnom dezenu
- moja malenkost
Dear readers, a new issue of the Sew News magazine has been published, and imagine my surprise when I saw my dress, known as the Dots Invasion dress, on the cover of the magazine! I honestly didn't expect this! Don't get me wrong, it's not that I'm complaining! ;-)
I sewed the dress approximately 2 years ago, and I posted the pattern for it on the BurdaStyle. Since then, numerous variations on the dress appeared on the website, leaving me literally speechless. I was fascinated by the fabrics, colors and ornaments used, that gave each dress a unique look. I have to confess that there's no greater reward than seeing your pattern being used world wide and seeing the photos of the finished variations.
The picture above is a small collage made out of the creation photos from the BurdaStye website. Starting from the top left corner (click on the picture to enlarge):
- vampiressrevenge; this young lady wrote a detailed review on my pattern on the Pattern Review website, feel free to read it.
- rebeccawoode; I have to specially commend her work, since she graded up the original pattern by 5 sizes, keeping the design intact.
- emlj, who made several variations on my patterns, and I can't decide which one I like the best!
- robynemde; I especially like the colors contrast and the knee length (I might make something similar myself!)
- pamlynch; just take a look at this fireworks of colors!
- kapuscin; this variation made the dress classic, compared with my almost avantgarde version
- Meredith Ploughman; her variation is made in a lovely floral print.
- myself
You can see all the variations on the dress on the BurdaStyle website. The pattern for the same dress, in size 38-40 can be downloaded from the Download tab of my blog. You can read the article on the website of the SewNews magazine.
