Zlata skirt pattern - view B

* KLIKNITE za tekst na srpskom

It's time to show you details of the view B of the Zlata skirt pattern.

After the original version of the Zlata skirt was made, I realized I wanted to make a pattern for it, as I saw a potential to style the skirt in various ways. I thought the belt loops and the transition between them and the waist yoke would look great if the yoke and the belt loops were made in contrasting colors. Following that idea, I made another alteration to the pattern, by adding a separate border, which would give a great balance to the skirt. And that's how the view B of Zlata skirt pattern was made. Basically, these two variations aren't very different.

This skirt was made of some double faced linen blend in golden-brown tones. Indeed the waist yoke and the border enhanced the cut of the skirt and since the skirt is made in rather neutral colors it instantly became one of my favorite garments. It is very easy to match and it's a true eye catcher.

I lengthened the skirt a bit as I wanted to make the skirt as classic as possible, and to balance the volume of the skirt by extra length. Please note the pattern is several centimeters shorter than the skirt.

This time I didn't edgestitch the pleat folds because the linen I worked with was rather fluid and the pleats weren't completely equal and symmetrical. Had I edgestitched the pleat folds, the asymmetry would have been much more prominent. Unfortunately, lack of the stitches will make the skirt more difficult to maintain, especially after the skirt is washed, as the pleats will completely disappear.But, we'll talk more about maintenance during the sewalong.

The skirt has an invisible zipper installed at the left side seam.

The skirt was hemmed by machine, and the raw edge was folded twice before it was sewed.

Zlata kroj za suknju - varijacija B

* CLICK to read the text in English

Na redu je detaljni opis varijacije B Zlata suknje. 

Nakon što je prva, originalna varijanta Zlata suknje nastala, shvatila sam da želim od nje da napravim kroj, jer sam videla potencijal da se suknja stilizuje na različite načine. Pomislila sam kako bi se gajke na pojasu i prelaz sa falti na gajke još bolje video kada bi sam pojas suknje bio u kontrastnoj boji u odnosu na gajke. Vodeći se tom idejom, napravila sam još jednu izmenu na kroju, u vidu bordure, koja daje dobar balans pojasu. Tako je nastala varijacija B Zlata suknje. U osnovi, ova dva kroja se ne razlikuju mnogo.

Ovu suknju sam šila od divne mešavine lana, koja ima dva lica u dve srodne nijanse braon - zlatastih tonova. I zasta, bordura i pojas su divno istakli kroj ove suknje, a pošto su tonovi koje sam koristila prilično neutralni, suknja je momentalno postala jedan od omiljenih komada odeće koje imam. Veoma je jednostavna za kombinovanje i uklapanje, a uvek izuzetno efektna i primećena. 

Ovu suknju sam produžila u odnosu na kroj, pa nemojte da vas to zavara - želela sam da suknja bude što klasičnija, kao i dužinom malo izbalansiram volumen koji lan izuzetno ističe. Napominjem da je kroj par santimetara kraći.

Ovaj put nisam preštepavala pregibe falti, budući da je lan prilično fluidan, pa same falte nisu besprekorno simetrične - da sam ih preštepala, samo bih naglasila njihovu asimetričnost. Nažalost, nedostatak štepova će otežati održavanje suknje i peglanje falti, posebno kada dođe na red da je operem, jer će tada falte nestati. No, o održavanju ćemo još pričati kada budem pisala o samom procesu šivenja suknje.

Suknja se zakopčava skrivenim rasjferšlusom koji je prišiven u šav na levom boku.

Suknja je porubljena mašinski, preštepavanjem poruba sa naličja, a sama tkanina je dva puta podvijena pre nego što je prošivena.

Kupovina kroja
