I just got a sewing machine - Projects?

Hi everyone! So I decided on a sewing machine (The brother PC-420) and I was wondering if I could get some ideas of beginner sewing projects - I've never sewn anything before! I've googled and mostly come up with oven mits, and pillow cases and t-shirt modifications. TIA =]
The pups!

  • The first two projects I tackeled were an apron and a pair of pajama pants. I bought the "See and Sew" patterns from Jo Anns just to learn how to 1) use a pattern and 2) learn how to use my machine.
