Thoughts on a Wardrobe

After enjoying the experience of my t-shirt, and deciding that I needed to reproduce the effort, I started to think more about what I could make in terms of daily clothing. What would I need to make for a complete wardrobe of essentials? Here is my thinking to date…

Basic garments

My wardrobe isn’t that sophisticated these days, so starting off with t-shirts is a good bet. They can be worn as a base under jumpers and sweatshirts, or just on their own. A well-fitting plain t-shirt is often good enough on its own, but a lot of my current ones are screen printed or have a couple of details such as embroidery. I don’t think I want to consider such embellishments at the moment, but perhaps some colour blocking would be possible for a little bit of variation ― the two-tone raglan-sleeve t-shirt would a nice project. For a wardrobe, say one for each day of the week:

Underwear is another staple of course. Socks I have no interest in considering making, but I would like to try some boxer-briefs. There is a surprising variety of cuts and fits for these, so trying to replicate my favourites would be an interesting challenge.
