cushion covers- good to start off with. if you want something bit trickier, try 4 colours on the front of the cushion so each quarter is a different colour. you can use velcro (not so easy to sew with a machine) or a zip to close it up, or just overlap the material like a pillow cover.

pants are really easy, but easier with a pattern. kids pyjama pants, shorts. i just sew a seam at the waist and thread the elastic through.

i find pants a lot easier than tops, the neckline can be tricky to make look even and 'professional'.

library bags, hemmed blankets for dolls cots.
