are we having fun yet? (lots of photos, some progress)

sunny day / napsütés


i think our workshop is a funny place... a little retro... i taped the looks i'm aiming for to the wall.
szerintem nagyon vicces hely a műhelyünk, kicsit retró... a terveket felragasztottam a falra.





experiments in striping / csíkozási kísérletek.





homemade striping / saját készítésű csíkozás.








same fabric cut and waiting to be a pair of shorts.
ugyanaz az anyag kiszabva vár a sorsára.


almost / majdnem...








experiments in gauged pleating / ráncolási kísérletek.


toile / próbaing.


silk paints / selyemfestékek.





experiments / kísérletek.


off i go to design the embroidery patterns.
elkezdem megtervezni a hímzésmintákat.




















patterns ready for two sleeves / két ujja.


painted / festve.





painted and embroidery pattern transferred.
festve, hímzésminta rámásolva.


embroidering / hímzek.


testing reds / pirospróbák.


detail... i didn't want to make it traditionally dense.
részlet... igazából még ennél is ritkábban akartam hímezni... :)




some really bad photos...
to my biggest disappointment, the machine was set to
taking small photos, so i had no chance to crop or otherwise edit them.
but who cares, their main purpose is to document what i do...

i spent a week at home.
we made very little progress as you can see,
but that's normally how it happens.

rigth now i'm back in budapest because of course
i have other works to do as well.

i'm starting to get a bit panicky now
that there's only two weeks to go
and we have no finished piece yet.

but i know i'll get my act together and everything
will be ready in the last moment.
with a little help from my mommy.

please keep your fingers crossed...

***

elég béna fotók lettek, mert a gép
kis mértere volt állítva, úgyhogy nem tudtam őket cropppolni.
de végülis ezek most csak a dokumentációt szolgálják.

egy hétig voltam otthon, haladtunk egy icipicit.
sajnos nenm sokat, de ez általában így szokott lenni.

most pesten vagyok, mert azért más munkám is van. :)

kezdek picit pánikolni, most hogy már csak
két hét van, és még egy kész ruha sincsen...

de tudom (vagy legalábbis nagyon remélem), hogy
össze tudom szedni magam, és utolsó pillanatra
minden szépen készen lesz (némi anyai segítséggel).

lécci-lécci szorítsatok, hogy kész legyek, és jól sikerüljön minden. :)

  3. Aranyos vagy Sári, köszönöm a biztatást! :) A könyv örökség a nagymamámtól! Megvan a keresztszemes is... :) :) :) A többi cucc inkább kalotaszegi ihletésű lesz... és egy matyó is... Remélem, elkészülök!

  16. Hello, dear french fan, Victoire! :)

    I'm glad you like it!!! :)

    The book is "Kalocsai virágok" by Lengyel Györgyi.

    But you can definitely start on your own, too, if you

    Google "kalocsai" or "kalocsai hímzés".

    Good luck!
