What's an easy sewing project for a beginner seamtress?

I'm going to be sewing by machine and I want to make something fairly easy. What was the first project(s) you more experienced seamstresses made?

Take two towels. wrong sides together
Mark top at half point, one quarter point and three quarter point.
Stitch from the one quarter point to the edge
Then turn inside out and right sides together
go down about seven inches and stitch to about four inches from the bottom.
Turn right side out
It's a beach cover up. Seriously my grandmother helped me pin and stitch this project when I was five.
We used two hand towels and I wore it till it fell apart.
Think about it Two beach towels and with a ribbon belt you can wear it most of the day.
For the childs hand towel cover up you sew the same neck hole but with the fringed edges on a hand towel, you can stitch from the neck to about two inches from the outer edge making a shoulder fitting line that makes the cover up more fringy and cute on a kid.
Also.............cut a wash cloth in half diagonally and hem the long edge. Right side wash cloth sewn to the wrong side of a matching towel on both edges, and when you turn the wash cloth over, you have a baby bath towel.

Take a place mat and flod it into thirds.
fold one flap up and sew the seams on both sides to create a purse. Turn right side out, fold flap down and add a snap or velcro spot and you have a new clutch purse, you can add a ribbon shoulder strap.
