I chose the Plantain t-shirt from Deer and Doe. It looks like a simple garment, and I've heard excellent things about the patterns from knitting podcasts, particularly Fluffy Fibers. I've even ordered some fabric. Printing the pattern needs to wait until our printer is no longer hungry.
I wonder a little if there is something easier I could have chosen, but I have decided to just go with it, do my best, and see what happens. Worst case scenario, I'll wear the shirt at home and under woolly jumpers in winter.
Also on my sewing-one-day list is pyjama bottoms (which may have been a more sensible place to start, but to that notion I give a metaphorical shrug of the shoulders and make an "eh!" sound). In my experience, one wash is all you need to take a lovely and well fitting pair of pyjama bottoms to a place where they are flapping about at half mast, leaving me feeling silly and cold of ankle. This always makes me sad and ruins my pleasure in my new tartan/penguin print/dotty pyjamas, and so this seems an excellent place to build up my handmade wardrobe!
However, in order to avoid building a fabric stash to rival my yarn stash, the pyjama bottoms will need to wait until I have had a stab at this whole t-shirt scenario!
