Fun sewing/embrodery ideas? 10 points!?

So I am going to be having no TV, computer, ect for a couple months (maybe longer) as a way of seeing what it would be like without them (and a personal challenge/experiment type thing).

I like to embroider sew things with my new singer sew machine (just sewed my dog a sweater/jacket for next winter (we go snowshoeing and yes he did get cold after 3 hours of hiking, so next winter he will have a sweater/jacket. Its not just to "dress" him up but to actually keep him warm). He also has boots so he doesn't get "snow ball feet" and make me stop to get the ice and snow out every 15 minutes.

I also made my own curtains and am planning to make some embroidered throw pillows.

Any other fun ideas that are practical or useful to make? I am moving into my first apartment soon too so any "around the house" type ideas?

I'm not a girly-girl, more so a tom-boy if that gives you an idea into things I would like or find fun to make. I love animals, outdoors, hiking, biking, reading, drawing, playing with my dog or teaching him new tricks and im an organize/clean freak!

Links are appreciated!

How about trying your hand at Bean Bags for your new apartment? Make it any shape you like [eg. add a dog's/animal's head on top] in any fabric of your choice :-)

Or cylindrical cushions - these are a bit more masculine/tomboyish :-)

You could create a patchwork or embroidered wall hanging eg. of your dog, or any other animal or design you like. If you make more than one, they can can be framed & hung/displayed as a set.

Or you could take photographs & create sewn & embroidered frames for them. I'm sure that would be quite unique or pretty uncommon !

Since you enjoy reading, you may have a collection of books with bookends to hold them vertical? If these are simple, you could make embroidered jackets for the same, color-coordinated to your home.

Besides quilt, you can sew & embroider your own bedsheets, etc. to make a wonderful linen set.

Add some embroidery to your towels.

Make hot pads, aprons, napkins, table mats, etc. Choose colors & designs that suit your tastes.

You can also add some curtain decorations to your curtains, as well as drawstrings, or curtain rings, etc.

A summer jacket for yourself ?
Some nips & tears & embroidery to your jeans?
Oh, your very own sewn & embroidered or quilted Backpack would be a great addition to your hiking trips :-)
Since you enjoy drawing, you could do some Fabric Painting on any of the items you've made. Or a combination of painting & embroidery [I did that once for one of my bedsheets - filled the pattern with light colors & only embroidered the outlines. It was a very quick project & one that still gets compliments;-)]]

Hope some of these inspire too
Have fun :-))
