Sewing Projects?

I think I'm going to commit to a new sewing project soon. The weather is perfect for something cute and warm. I've started drafting a skirt pattern, something much shorter than the maxi one I made before, although I may use the same fabric. Plaid is just so good, I'm not sure I can resist using it. Someone tell me to get started on it so it's done before autumn reallly sets in.
