Aritzen ezkontzarako gona- a skirt for my brother's wedding

Hala! Nere bigarren Rums-a!
Nere anaia ezkontzen da eta mila ideia ditut buruan, soinekoa, gona, galtzak, kamixa... eta gutxien espero nuen momentuan oroitu nintzen banuela tela zoragarri bat, nere suegrak Tailandiatik ekarritakoa, zetazkoa, lore pila zituena. Eta tela ikusi orduko banekien horrekin gona luze bat egin behar nuela.

When my brother told me he was getting married I knew I had to sew something special. I had so many ideas, a dress,  a skirt and a top, pants... but all of a sudden I remembered my mother-in-law brought me a gorgeous piece of fabric from Thailand more than a year ago and I knew exactly what I was going to do with it.

Hasieran tela karratuan moztu eta fruntzea egin nion gerrian, baina potola egiten zidan. Gero pintza batzuk hartu nizkion gerrian, baina tela hain goxua da, ez duela formarik behar. Eta hirugarren saiakeran triangelu forman moztu nuen eta gerrikoa jarri nion. Denetan sinpleena, baina hori da telak eskatzen zuena.

At first I cut the fabric as a square and put elastic at the top but it made me look big! So I put some pleats at the top, but I realised the fabric was so special it only needed simplicity to show off and that's what I did. I cut it as a triangle and sewed it straight. Then I just put a simple waist on.

Mila esker Ilene!

I'm so happy with the result! Thanks so much to my mother-in-law for having such a good taste!
