I need a 4-H project for sewing. Any suggestions?

I don't know what previous sewing experience you have or whether this project is from a pattern or freestyle. But here is what I would suggest.
How about a remote control pocket to hang on arm of a chair or on the side of a mattress.
A coat for your dog, if you even have one.
A shirt or blouse for yourself or a brother, dad, mom etc.
A small quilt. A lap size would be perfect and you can use it yourself or donate it to a senior center. They love these.
A set of pillow slips that you sew a design on.
A table runner for Thanksgiving or Christmas or any other holiday.
A cover for your sewing machine.
A tote bag to carry sewing supplies, books, or whatever in.

How about Fleece Blankets or Throws? Or Fleece Hats with Tassles on top with matching scarves? You didn't say how hard or easy-but these are pretty easy to make.
I know this is an old question, but in case others are looking for suggestions, I have a new one. We did this Fabric Basket project with our 4-H club recently. It's a simple sewing project with just straight lines and is great for beginners. My Mom and I led the project during a meeting activity time and we had all levels of sewers from total beginners to advanced participate and enjoy the project.
Here is a link to the page with the project instructions and even a video: www.needlepointers.com/
I know this is an old thread but in case someone is reading it for suggestions, I wanted to say that all of the suggestions above are good ones. We also did this project (www.needlepointers.com/
