Circle Skirt With Lace Hem

Detalj boje čini stvarno veliku razliku. Dugo sam izbjegavala crvenu boju (barem sam pokušavala), ali u zadnje vrijeme mi nekako baš odgovaraju detalji kao što je crvena mašnica u kosi... A bez crvenog čipkastog obruba... ova suknjica bi baš bila bezveze! A ovako... meni se jako sviđa, a što je još važnije, svidila se i novoj vlasnici :) Što vi mislite?

A pop of color could make a magic! This circle skirt was boring and dull, but after trimming with red lace... I love it! And mine little cousin (for who is this skirt for) loves it, too! 

I love colors!!!

Crvena mašnica u daru je napravljena kao ovdje (samo sam za ovu umjesto čipke koristila nekakvu organza/saten traku).

Tutorijal (ako ga možemo tako zvati) za suknjicu je ovdje, a za današnju sam samo dodala crvenu čipku na rubu.

Bow is made like this one.

DIY Workout Top

 

Ok, ovaj post je zapravo samo kako bih se hvalila da vježbam. Ali neka vas to ne zavara. Ako imam odjeću za vježbanje, ne znači da je pretjerano koristim :)))

Iako, moram priznat, ovu novu majicu sam koristila. Hehehe :)

U par sličica ćete vidjeti kako sam u 10 minuta promijenila nenosivu majicu u sasvim nosivi top. Nadam se da vam nisu dosadili refashioni :)))

Please do not be fooled, if I have (and wear) workout clothes, it doesn't mean that I actually do mine workouts :)))

But, I have to admit that I ran few miles wearing this top :))))  (If people who know me in real life don't believe that... well, I can barely believe, but... I'm not lying)

Here is how I transformed ugly, old t-shirt into wearable top. I use it for running, so let's call it workout top. Hope that you like refashions :)

Kada god šijete na ovom materijalu (od običnih majica) uvijek, ali baš uvijek koristite cik-cak bod. I to mi je bilo jedino pravilo, oko ostalih detalja se nisam zamarala. 

Always use your zig-zag stitch when you're sewing this (t-shirt) material.

 

Majica je bila kratka. Produžila sam je tako što sam na ramena zašila trake od čipke. 

Original "before" t-shirt was short, so I had to make mine top longer. All I did is sewing that lace on shoulders. And, it worked :)

Još jedan makeover / Another dress from maxi skirt

I slijedi još jedan re-fashion!!!

Ali prvo moram zahvaliti svojoj dragoj ujni koja je pristala na malo gnjavaže i danas je moj model. (Ja sam sama sebi dosadila, a mogu mislit kako je vama gledati me non-stop)

Hvala Tonka :))) Jako nam je drago što danas uljepšavaš ovaj post :)))

Možda i ne bi bilo ovoliko refashiona da mi sada ljudi ne daju svoju odjeću sa riječima "Ti ćeš sigurno znati što s ovim :)

A meni drago :)

Uglavnom, nisam imala malu crnu haljinicu (Nevjerojatno, zar ne?!?! Da, znam :) )

E pa sada je imam. 

Tutorijal je sličan ovome. Ali, suknja je već u startu bila uža, tako da nisam ništa ni šivala ni rezala. Samo sam rašila pri vrhu za ruke. Poslije malo obrubila. Lijepi kaiš. I to je sve. 

Isn't lady on first photo lovely?! That is mine aunt. She is so kind so... she accepted to be our model today. 

Well, we have another refashion for today. There are so many refashions lately because, people started to give me their clothes. They say that I'll know what to do with it :)

He, he, I'm happy with that :)

Anyway, can you belive that I didn't have little black dress?!

I have it now :)

It is something like this tutorial. But this skirt wasn't so big, so I didn't cut or sew. All I did are those arm holes. Use some nice belt for it. And that's it.

It can't be any simpler :)

Omot za knjige / DIY Book Covers

Već smo oblagali bilježnice u tkanine (ovdje). Ali, ovaj put nisam htjela trajno rješenje. Želila sam nešto što ću moći skidati po potrebi, a da mi zaštiti knjigu. I napravila sam omot od tkanine. Praktički je ovo ista stvar kao i oni plastični, prozirni omoti koje kupujemo u knjižarama za naše osnovnoškolce.

 

Well, we refashioned our notebook once (here), but I wanted something less permanent for this book. I can put it on and take it of as much as I like to. I bet that you can find something similar in your stationary stores (some kind of plastic wrapping). Here is mine. And, here are some photos of making it, if you're interested.

Nisam porubljivala materijal, nego sam samo prošla na mašinu cik-cak bodom. Samo da se ne resa previše. Nisam išla na uglađen izgled ruba, ali da sam htjela, samo bi trebalo malo ljepše porubiti tkaninu.

I didn't hem it. All I did is zig-zag stitching around the material. I prevented fraying with that, but if you're going on more fancy look, you should hem it nicely.

Majica od kuhinjskih krpa / Shirt from Dish Towels

Da, dobro ste pročitali :) od kuhinjskih krpa sam napravila majicu. Ok, ovo je stvarno malo, "drugačiji" projekt. Ali poanta je da treba pusiti mašti na volju i ona vas može odvesti jako, jako daleko. Ma čak i dalje od toga da u javnosti oblačite kuhinjsku krpu (a stvari nosite u podmetaču za tanjure). A na kraju krajeva, čini mi se da ova maica i nije nenosiva. Što vi mislite? 

Kad je baka vidjela što sam obukla, ništa nije komentirala ali je odmah otvorila svoju škrinju i pronašla mi par stvarno prekrasnih tkanina. (Hehe, o njima nekom drugom prilikom). Ali njena poruka je jasna :))))

Yes, I did. I made shirt using dish towels (dish clothes). Why? Because I can! 

If you use your imagination it will take you far, far away. Maybe on place where you're wearing tea towels on yourself, and you're wearing your stuff in placemat. I even think about going out in public wearing dish towels (aka mine new shirt :) What do you think? Is it wearable?

Tutorial:

I use scarf now, but if it becomes to hot like this, I'll wear it with satin ribbon.

Haljina - Refashion - Dress

O daaa!

Od maxi suknje koja je bila baš one nezgodne dužine da je ne mogu nositi (i malo preširoka), napravila sam sebi haljinicu :)

Cooool!!!

I made really nice dress, and all I used is one maxi skirt (it was little bit to baggy, but short - if that has any sence...) Here we have another refashion! And, we love them, don't we?!

Materijal nije nimalo rastezljiv, tako da je bilo malo problema kada sam došla do područja ispod ruke. Zapravo sam htjela ostaviti rukave, ali je sve bilo previše stegnuto. Uglavnom, mislim da su slike prilično detaljno objasnile što sam radila (da, doista je tako jednostavno). Ali, morate zapamtiti da sam poslije svakog koraka probavala "haljinu" i tako provjeravala kako bi bilo najbolje nastaviti.

I don't know what is that material, but it isn't stretchable at all. That's why I had minor problems whem I started to make arm holes. And, that chest area is quite tight. Mine idea was to have long sleeves, but it is imposible with this material (well, imposible for me). 

Anyway, I belive that you'll figure out proces with those photos. After every step, I would try "dress", so that's how I decided what is going to be mine next step.

 Mislim da je cijeli proces (sa presvlačenjima i probavanjem) trajao pola sata :) Što mislite, je li dobro iskorištenih pola sata?

This is easy and fast project (about half an hour - with trying). Do you like it?

UPDATE: I changed color of this dress. Come here and see :)


2. UPDATE: I changed another skirt. This one is with out sewing :)))) Come and see here.
