Projects Galore!

So. This Christmas I became the owner of one fantastic sewing machine. For those of you who didn't know, I have fantasies of actually becoming good at sewing things. And as any good crafter who fantasises about becoming a good crafter would do, I've begun my collection of things I want to make!

Drumroll please! Here they are!

This one I've actually started and am nearly finished with! *applause* I know! I know! Thank you! The only thing I've got left to do is sew on the velcro (self-adhesive velcro doesn't work if you're going to sew it, too. Believe me. *wink*) and put in some elastic in the next strap and sew around the apron. Okay. So the only thing I've really done is sewn together the neck strap and waist strap, but those suckers took me an entire afternoon! Anyway, this is a FREE pattern that you can get at: Sew Liberated

And....an apron for myself! I saw this at Pink Chalk Fabrics, and fell in love with it! I'm saving this project for when my mom comes next week! It looks a little tricky and I think I'll need her help!
And lastly, this is going to be a dangerous site, I can already tell.You Can Make This.com has SO many absolutely cute patterns! Here are the ones I've got waiting on me to do!

A reversable skirt for myself. I've got the fabric that I want to use, however, I'm participating in a base wide "Biggest Loser" competition with Drew and a couple guys from his work (Go Team 2BUCU!!). I thought I'd wait to make this to see what results come of this competition.
And here's another FREE pattern that I got because, well, it was free! Why not, right?
And another project that I'll probably need help with, but I've got visions of making these this summer for Kami and her cousins. We'll see, Rachel! ;^) So. I'm off! Stay tuned for actual finished projects in the next few weeks, months, years, eons! And while I'm at it:
