Not sure it's me {I'm not really a gold person} but maybe in blues?

Oven Mitts

My oven mitts are absolutely revolting, covered in greasy stains that won't seem to wash out, so this pattern will come in really handy {no pun intended}.

Versatile Blouse Pattern

This blouse pattern looks very easy to follow, and it would be so easy to alter if you know how.
- Must make a few of these for myself, if my machine is unpacked before Summer.

Faux Fur Shrug

I'm not looking to make one of these for myself, you understand.

But it would be very handy for the dress-up box, and I picked up some fake fur very cheaply the other week at the local op shop, on the off chance that I could use it.
{that's a charity or thrift store to overseas readers}

Tank top from a teeshirt

Repurpose an old tee with a pair of scissors and a touch of crochet.

Can't wait to try this with some of Wren's old tops. - I'm going to try it with an old dress of hers that's too small now, too.

These quick-to-make curtains will go perfectly in our garage {someday to be my sewing/craft room}.

Toadstool Pincushion

Super-easy and so cute, it would be a great baby toy (minus the pins).

Large Duffel Bag

My old duffel bag has been around since I was in primary school (I was twelve, but I'm not saying how many years ago that was).

Maybe it's about time I had a new one...

Time for another Apron pattern

Not that I do a lot of cooking {hate the stuff}, but I do like a nice apron to not cook in.

Lacy Valentine's Pillow

Wren was really into the idea of Valentine's Day last year, so if I make something sweet like this for her next year, she's bound to love it.

Jam Jar Lid Covers

We inherited a lemonade tree with our new home, and the amount of fruit is unbelievable.

So once I figure out what I'm going to make out of it, and manage to actually do so, these fabric lid covers will come in very handy indeed...

Bangle Bag Pattern

I love the look of those flowers on the front of this bangle bag.

For the perfect beach bag, just make them into tropical frangipanis instead!

Hand-pieced Pincushion

This is exactly the project I need right now, for three reasons:
1. I don't have a pincushion {shocking, I know}
2. Hand-sewing is all I can do for the time being
3. I can use some small pieces of my beautiful fabric {I'm a bit of a miser with my stash}

Removable Money Pocket for your Bra

Great for travelling overseas, or visiting nightclubs.

-Both of which I haven't done in well over a decade, but who knows what I'll get up to once the kids leave home?

Gingham Purse Pattern

I usually go for at least 18mths between new bags, so hopefully I can get my head around sewing them for myself.

Can't get enough of those wrap skirts, and they're so simple to make!

Edited 27/08/09: 
I've just been told that the pattern has been deleted from this link.
I've contacted the author, so keep your fingers crossed: I may be able to fix it. ;)

Roman Blinds Pattern

I've loved the look of roman blinds for ages, and I've got just the perfect fabric to make some for our bathroom window.
