I'm musing aloud here, feel free to chip in if the topic interests you, otherwise it'll just be a place for my thoughts to get in order.
So its October and the heating is now on for part of the day and it would be sensible to switch the wardrobe round a bit. Get the long sleeves/winter clothes boxes down from the top of wardrobe and replace them with the summer clothing. And of course have some fun sewing some new things.
I am very good at utilising the available space, but I think its time to review some of the things I don't wear and look to pass them on to local schemes or charity shops.
Generally I have things in categories, but over the summer I tried to do variations of the hanger trick and moved things about which mixed the sections up.
I popped up to the local shops earlier and donated some books to the telephone box mini library. A quick look in the local charity shops didn't induce me to buy anything, but I did feel a list of things starting to form in my mind.
It would be good to have some things in my wardrobe (maybe I already do?) to meet certain situations.
- black coat, probably for funerals, but also other smart occasions, where my current anorak style coats are not quite right. Maybe a matching brimmed hat made from the scraps.
- black dress, as above. I think I have several but nothing that quite fits right.
- something pretty for a party/ dinner / event, maybe all of dress and separates with both skirt and trousers options.
- well fitting joggers with pockets, to replace the rather tired RTW ones.
- woven shirts with buttoned patch pockets, I love the one I made, but feel the need for some more of them.
- well fitting hiking trousers with lots of zipped pockets.
