Malo drugačiji pogled na rever / A bit different collar

Još jedan majstorski trik Shingo Satoa. Ovakav detalj bih jako volela da napravim.

Another fantastic trick coming from Shingo Sato. I would love to make such a detail someday.

Novo izdanje Sew News časopisa / A new issue of Sew News magazine

Pre nekoliko dana sam dobila novo izdanje Sew News časopisa, u kom je objavljena moja tirkizna haljina sa nabranim umetkom na grudima. Suknja haljine ima po jednu olfaltu na prednjem i zadnjem delu. Materijal je vezeni pamuk sa bordurom, koju sam iskoristila da naglasim kroj. Budući da je ivica tkanine bila ravna, sekla sam materijal tik uz ivicu veza, kako bih dobila vijugavu borduru.

Haljinu sam šila kombinujući krojeve za JJ i Ute bluze sa Burda Style sajta, kao i uz sopstveno modelovanje. U časopisu možete naći detaljna uputstva za pravljenje kroja, gde je osnov obična haljina sa brusnama na grudima i struku.

A few days ago I got a new issue of the Sew News magazine, which features my turquoise dress with a gathered bust insert. The dress' skirt has a kick pleat on both front and back sides. The fabric is an embroidered cotton with a border, that I used to emphasize the cut. Since the edge of the fabric was straight,  I cut the fabric along the scalloped embroidery, to get the final look.

I sewed the dress combining the JJ and Ute blouse patterns from Burda Style website and my drafting skills. You can find detailed instructions for pattern alteration in the magazine, where I used a simple shift dress with bust and waist darts as a basis. 

Ovaj put moram da naglasim da sam jako zadovoljna time kako haljina izgleda na manekenki, koja, rekla bih, ima oblik tela i dimenzije slične mojim. Takođe, tirkizna boja fenomenalno ide uz njen ten.

I have to point out that I really like how the dress looks on the model, who has a similar body shape and dimensions to mine. Also, the turquoise looks fantastic on her complexion. 

A evo kako ista izgleda na meni... 

And here's how the dress looks on me...

Dan 22 / Day 22


Opet sam nosila moto jaknu i salutirala ispred Admirala :)


Wearing again my motorbike jacket and saluting in front of the Admiral :)

Dan 23 / Day 23

Ponovo koristim staru, ali veoma interesantnu sliku. Nosila sam varijaciju Bella pantalona, sa Burda Style sajta, koje su izmenjene prema stilu mornarskih pantalona.

This is an old picture again, but a very interesting one. I wore a variation of the Burda Style's Bella pants, altered to sailor style pants.

Dan 24 / Day 24


Ovde sam bila u poseti Alisi iz Zemlje čuda. Da znate, ima veoma lepu kućicu :)

Visiting Alice in Wonderland, she has a nice home, you know?

Dan 25 / Day 25

Foto izazov za petak: Voda. Igranje i pevanje na kiši (plus stajanje u bari, ako možete da je vidite sa slika)... to je dovoljno vode za moj ukus...

Nosila sam crnu vojničku haljinu, koju sam stilizovala da izgleda što je moguće poslovnije. Kroj je iz Burde 1/2006, #130. Nisam nosila često ovu haljinu, iako je veoma udobna i lepo mi stoji. Stvar je u tome što me najčešće podseća na radnički kombinezon. Ipak, sa zlatnim detaljima sam uspela dobro da je zakamufliram i veoma mi se dopada u ovoj kombinaciji.

Singing and dancing in the rain (plus, standing in a minor pond, if you can actually see it).... that's enough water for me :)

Wearing a black military dress, that I styled to look as business like as possible. The pattern is from BWOF 11/2006, #130. I haven't worn this dress much, even though it's really comfortable and it fits me well. The thing is, most of the times it reminds me of coveralls. However with these golden details it is well camouflaged and I like it this way.

 

Dan 26 / Day 26

Nosila sam teget satensku suknju sa zelenim detaljima (Burda 10/2005, #121 sa izmenama kroja). Volim ovu suknju, i dobila sam dosta komplimenata na njen račun, ali je nisam nosila mnogo. Nisam nalazila odgovarajuću bluzu uz nju. Ovaj put, uparila sam suknju sa belom bluze na teget pruge i tufne (Burda 1/2008 #108), i veoma mi se dopada kako izgleda.

Wearing a navy satin skirt with green details (BWOF 10/2005, #121 with alterations). I love this skirt and I've been getting a lot of compliments for it, but I haven't worn it much. I couldn't find the right top for it. This time, I've paired it with a white blouse with navy stripes and polkadots (BOWF 1/2008 #108), and I really liked the look.

Dan 27 / Day 27


Nosila sam smoking pantalone i teksas blejzer.


Wearing the tuxedo pants and a denim jacket.

Dan 28 / Day 28


Opet stara slika - nosila sam kariranu suknjicu koju sam sama modelovala.

An odl picture again - I wore a plaid skirt that I modeled myself.

Dan 29 / Day 29


Varijacija bluze iz Burde 1/2008 #108.

A variation of the BWOF 1/2008 #108 blouse.

Dan 30 / Day 30


I opet stara slika - haljinica koju mnogo volim da nosim, kroj iz Burde 2/2007, #124.

An old picture again - a dress that I love to wear, the pattern was from BWOF 2/2007, #124.

Dan 31 / Day 31

Poslednji dan ovog sjajnog izazova.

Hvala Zoe na organizovanju izazova, uživala sam kao i uvek, iako sam nekim danima imala problema da se uslikam. Kao omaž njoj, obukla sam se u mornarskom stilu.

Ovaj put sam bila manje maštovita u oblačenju nego inače, ali za to krivim vreme koje je bilo kišno, kišno, kišno...

Volela bih da imam više ručno šivene garderobe za sportske aktivnosti, poput farmerica i majica.

Ono što sam postavila sebi kao lični izazov je da uslikam interesantne slike, i mislim da sam uspela u tome (onim danima kada sam uspela da se slikam).

The final day of this wonderful challenge.

Thank you Zoe for organizing it, I enjoyed it as much as always, even though I had troubles photographing my outfits at certain days. As an homage to you, here's a quite nautical outfit from me :)

I was less imaginative with my outfits than usual, but I blame it on the weather, which was rainy, rainy, rainy...

I wish I had more casual, sportish garments like jeans and T-shirts for outdoor activities.

What I made my personal challenge was to snap some interesting pictures, and I think I did that well (on those days I when I managed to take them).
