Things I would make if I had a sewing machine... version 2

I'm not very talented when it comes to sewing, but I want to be!  My Mom tried to teach me, but I treat sewing a lot like I do cooking- without rules or recipes.  I end up with a lot of wonky results.  :)  I keep seeing really wonderful things people are sewing, and I can't help but wonder if I could handle some of these projects?  I mean, most of them don't involve too many steps or patterns even.  (following pattern instructions is waaay too complicated for me...)
