When I started thead injecting after a long absence I designed the project out of paper cutouts then glued them together, the process really helped when I started thread injecting. Stake Bag, Stuff Sacks are excellent first project. A basic tarp is also good, however all the fabric is a bit of a challenge. Goofing up a stuff sack is not much of a big deal, messing up a tarp is upsetting and wasteful.
