Quick Party Skirt (how-to here). Perfect pattern for sewing novices.
Celeste dress. Free pattern #8132B
The Marie skirt. Free pattern #9177. I for one have been looking for this styled skirt pattern for a while now because I think it looks very highstreet! (Why don´t pattern magazines have more pattern like this!!) Here is also a version from Minttu which just shows how versitile this pattern is. Brocade for winter festivities and patterned cotton for summer days! This pattern can also me made to a dress if you combile it with a corset top pattern.
Kasia pencil skirt. Free pattern #6012. Office chic!
Esther knit cardigan. Free pattern #8027. Beginner level project.

I've made a skirt with Marie-pattern and was really pleased with the pattern. Here you can find some pictures if you like: http://go4itvol2.blogspot.com/2008/09/vlill-jotain-valmistakin.html
Brilliant, thanks for the tips!
Hope you'll have a cracking NYE :)
That ruffled necklace might be a good solution for all the small pieces of fabric that I have accumulated. Thanks!
Happy New Year!!! Janavi
Love the open-back bow dress! Where can I find the pattern for this, please?
I think this dress was one of the 2008 reader submissions at Burda Style. Pattern not available I´m affraid. But this is really easy to make. Just find ANY dress pattern with an open back and sew a ribbon to the shoulders. :)
