Well, I think I have decided on what my first real sewing project will be, when I end up getting a sewing machine. (Not that I would technically need one, just make it easier.)

Part of a SteamPunk Western costume.

Western style shirt, with the contrasting yoke and body, in bright jewel tones. (blue, green, purple). embroidery on the yoke, clockwork horses of some type.
A bolo tie, with a large gear.
