Here's what I've cut out lately:
There's this reusable grocery bag pattern from Butterick's "See & Sew" line. It's super easy. A front, a back, a pocket and some bias tape. I literally just need to sew this one up.

Then there's this scrub top pattern from Simplicity. I work at a hospital and I've found plenty of cheap scrub tops on Ebay, but the truth is sometimes I would like to make them out of fabric I really do like. This is a unisex pattern and I noticed a lot of reviews of it stated that it is humongous. So I cut out a size small and I used some fabric that has been in my stash forever so if it turns out to be a flop, no harm done. I cut mine shorter so it will come to just below the waist and not down past my hips. I also eliminated the chest pocket and just left the two front bottom pockets. It's very easy: two pockets, a front, a back, a front neck facing, and a back neck facing. I love that the sleeves are set into body of the top, kind of like kimono sleeves.

Then there's this dress. It's from McCall's Fashion Star line. I never watched Fashion star, but I like that this dress had a fitted bodice and then a really loose skirt. It too is all cut out, just needs to be sew up. It has a belt that makes it have a kind of empire waistline. I really like the fabric I had picked out so I really hope I like the finished product (once I finish it). The fabric is a reprint of a William Morris wallpaper print. Hopefully it isn't too busy of a print when it's all done.

Then, if I get all these projects completed, there's always these to start.
