Roze kaput sa velikom kragnom, deo 1 / Pink coat with an oversized collar, part 1

Posle mesec dana odmaranja, vreme je da se nešto i sašije. Trenutno radim na kaputu, čiju skicu sam već pokazivala na blogu. U pitanju je varijacija koju sam slala za Burda Style knjigu. Ipak, ne koristim kroj iz knjige kao osnov, već isprobani model, na kome samo treba da docrtam kragnu.

After taking a one month break from sewing, it's time to make something new. I'm working on a coat, whose sketch I posted on the blog before. It's a coat variation I sent to Burda Style for their Sewing Handbook. However, I'm not using the pattern from the book - instead, I'm using a tried and trued model on which I only have to draw a collar.


Evo kako test kroj izgleda (i evo koliko umorno ja izgledam u bež tonovima). Kaput će, naravno, biti duži - dužine malo ispod kolena. Jako sam zadovoljna kako je kragna ispala. Još moram da razmislim o tome kako ću šiti kaput - da li da koristim ojačanje od konjske dlake, ili samo lepljivo platno, ili oba. 

Here's how the muslin looks (and here's how washed and tired I look in nude tones). The coat will be longer - somewhere bellow the knees. I'm very pleased with how the collar looks. I still have to think about how I'm gonna sew this coat - whether I should use a horsehair canvas or just a fusible interfacing, or both of them.


A evo i materijala: prelepa vuna u boji fuksije, u kojoj izgledam mnogo zdravije i odmornije, odgovarajuća postava i lepi, prozirni dugmići.

And here's the fabric: a gorgeous wool in fuchsia color, in which I look much healthier; the lining and nice transparent buttons.


Do sada sam isekla vunu, ostaje mi još da iskrojim postavu i lepljivo platno, i da ga zalepim na tkaninu - moj najomraženiji deo posla :)

So far, I've cut the wool. I still have to cut the lining and the interfacing, and then to fuse it to the fabric - the least interesting part of the work :)
