On my wish list of more long term (and more ambitious) things to do: 
1. Make a timeless lightweight rain / trench coat (want to make a red one like Jilly off Torchwood!)
2. Make a chanel type jacket. Fully lined with silk charmeuse, using couture techniques. 
3. Make a lovely flattering classic wool coat. Maybe Vogue V8548?
4. Make a fantastic fitting pair of jeans. (really scared of this one...might be last on the list!)
5. Master some techniques: collars, buttonholes, zips and sleeves. (all of which I just feel I muddle through instructions at the moment!)
6. Diane Von Furstenberg wrap dress. It's a vintage pattern in my stash - long sleeves, full skirt & collar. v1679. Need the perfect patterned jersey for this. 
7. A similar dress to my lovely Vivien of Holloway swing dresses. (not needed at the moment...maybe next summer)
8. Denim jacket. (Hot patterns seriously stylin jacket? )
