Velika nagradna igra! / The great pattern giveaway!

 

Dragi čitaoci, već neko vreme smišljam čime bih mogla da vas nagradim za lojalnost i redovno posećivanje Štepalice, ali i da vas sve častim zbog sve većeg broja ljudi koji stižu na ovu adresu. A onda sam shvatila da imam pravu stvar za sve ljubitelje šivenja! Pre neki dan sam organizovala svoje skladište krojeva i shvatila da imam previše njih koje nikada neću iskoristiti. Zapravo, neke od njih sam već iskoristila, ali mnogi su potpuno netaknuti. Svi su izvađeni iz časopisa poput Burde, španskog Patrones, italijanskog La Mia Boutique, i još par drugih. Veličine se kreću od 36 - 42, zavisno od perioda kada sam ih vadila, ili pak od toga za koji odevni predmet su. Krojeva ima baš dosta, i volela bih da odu u ruke nekoga ko ih zaista želi. Alternativa tome je da ih bacim, što je za šnajderku gotovo kao jeres. 

Dear readers, I've been thinking of a way to thank you for your loyalty and your regular visits to Stepalica, and I've been looking for a way to celebrate the increasing number of the people who're coming to this blog. Then I realized I had just the right thing for all sewing enthusiasts! A few days ago I organized my patterns and realized there were too many of those I wouldn't ever use. I have already used some of them, but many of them are intact. They're all traced from magazines like Burda Style, Spanish Patrones, Italian La Mia Boutique, and a few more others that I have. The sizes range from 36 to 42, depending on when I traced them and the garment type they're for. There is a lot of patterns and I'd like to send them to someone who really wants them. The alternative is to throw them away which is equal to heresy for a seamstress.

Dakle, evo pravila nagradne igre:

• Igra je internacionalna, mogu da učestvuju svi, bez obzira na to odakle su i gde žive.
• Jedan učesnik može da dobije i više krojeva.
• Slike krojeva i njihov kraći opis (iz kog je časopisa, koja je veličina, da li sam pravila izmene na kroju, i slično) nalaze se u albumu na mom Pinterest nalogu.
• Prijavite se za krojeve postavljanjem komentara na sliku kroja na Pinterestu. Ako želite više krojeva, moraćete da postavite komentar na svaki od njih. Molim vas, postavite komentare, nemojte samo lajkovati slike - lajkove neću uzeti u obzir.
• Pošto ću krojeve morati da šaljem poštom, a ima ih dosta, tražim od primaoca kroja (ili krojeva) da plati troškove poštarine. O uslovima i načinu plaćanja poštarine ćemo se dogovoriti kada za to dođe vreme. 
• Igra je otvorena do kraja godine. Početkom Januara ću izvlačiti dobitnike. Ukoliko neki od krojeva ne budu izabrani do tada, dobiće ih prva osoba koja se za njih prijavi.
• Molim vas, postavite link ka ovom postu na svom blogu, ili Fejsbuk nalogu, Tviteru, Pinterestu, ili bilo kojoj drugoj društvenoj mreži.
• Ukoliko već niste, postanite pratilac mog bloga. Za to imate više opcija: potražite me preko Bloglovin, Google+, NetworkedBlogs, lajkujte moju Fejsbuk stranicu, preko email obaveštenja, ili Bloggera. 

So, here are the giveaway rules:

• The giveaway is international, anyone from anywhere around the globe can participate.
• One participant can get more than one pattern.
• I posted the patterns' pictures and their brief descriptions (magazine issue, size and my alterations) to a Pinterest board.
• Apply by commenting on a picture of the desired pattern. If you want to apply for more than one pattern, you'll have to comment on each of them. Please note that I won't take likes under account, so please comment the picture
• Since I'll have to send the patterns by mail, and there is a lot of them, I will ask the recipient to pay for the shipping. We will discuss about this when the time comes, since the shipping fee will depend on weight of the package. 
• The giveaway will be opened till the end of the year. I'll announce the winners in January. If some of the patterns remain unpicked after the giveaway, I'll send them to a first person who applies for. 
• Please, share the link to this post on your blog, Facebook account, Twitter, Pinterest or any other social network.
• If you haven't followed my blog so far, please do so now. You have several options for this: Bloglovin, Google+, NetworkedBlogs, by liking my Facebook page, assigning by email or Blogger. 

Dok god je igra otvorena, držaću sa desne strane bloga baner sa linkom na Pinterest album, kako biste ga lakše pronašli. S druge strane, svaka slika kroja na Pinterestu biće linkovana na ovaj post. 

While the giveaway is open I'll keep on the right side of the blog a giveaway banner linked to the Pinterest board.

Pokloni za čitaoce / Giveaway for the readers

Dragi čitaoci, imam par lepih poklona za vas, koji stižu čak iz Australije! 

U pitanju su vrlo praktični dodaci za makaze, koji vam omogućuju precizno određivanje širine dodatka za šavove prilikom sečenja tkanine. Ovaj sjajan patent je izum moje prijateljice Holi, koju sam upoznala na BurdaStyle sajtu. Dodatak se nakači na makaze uz pomoć magneta, podesi se željena širina dodatka za šav, i možete seći tkaninu oko papirnog kroja bez crtanja kredom! Zar to nije sjajno? Ovaj dodatak je zgodan za krojeve koji nemaju uključene dodatke za šavove, kakvi se mogu naći u Burda, La Mia Boutique, Diana, Modelina, Patrones, Manequim i sličnim časopisima. Takođe, biće vam od koristi ako koristite moje krojeve.

Hollie je bila veoma velikodušna i poslala mi 6 paketa od po 2 dodatka za makaze. Ja ću ovom prilikom podeliti 4 paketa svojim čitaocima. Pravila su sledeća: ako živite na prostoru bivše Jugoslavije, ostavite komentar na ovaj post, sa napomenom iz koje ste zemlje.  Imate nedelju dana da se prijavite za poklon, dakle do 13.05.2011., zaključno sa tim danom. Narednog dana ću izvući imena srećnih dobitnika i objaviti ih na blogu. 

Više detalja o dodatku za makaze možete naći na Holinom sajtu, putem koga možete i naručiti vaš paket dodataka. 

U međuvremenu, preporučujem vam da pogledate Holin profil na BurdaStyle sajtu, jer je ona veoma talentovana  krojačica (pogledajte samo ovaj eksperiment na kom je radila pre nekog vremena, i biće vam jasno o kolikom talentu pričam).

Dear readers, I have a few nice presents for you, that come all the way from Australia! 

I'm giving away brand new gadgets, called seam allowance guides, that help you determine SAs width when cutting a fabric. This great patent is my friend Hollie's invent, whom I met via BurdaStyle. The seam allowance guide is attached to the scissors with magnets, the SAs width is set and you can cut the fabric around your paper pattern without the need to use your chalk. Isn't it great? The gadget is handy for patterns that do not have SAs included, like the ones from BurdaStyle, La Mia Boutique, Diana, Modelina, Patrones, Manequim and other magazines. Also, you'll find it useful if you use my patterns.

Hollie was very generous, and sent me 6 packages, each containing a pair of seam allowance guides (SAGs). I'm going to giveaway 4 packages to my readers. Here are the rules of the giveaway: if you're living in one of the ex-YU countries, leave a comment to this post, along with the country you're from. You have a week to apply for the giveaway, hence the deadline is 13.05.2011. I'll pick 4 names and announce the winners the following day.


You can find more details on the SAG on Hollie's website, where you can purchase it too.


In the meanwhile, take a look at Hollie's profile on BurdaStyle, because she's a very talented seamstress (just look at this experiment, and you'll know what I'm talking about).
