suggestions please

looking through my (very) small stash of self-made clothing, i realized that i'm lacking anything fitted. i really need suggestions on what to make next that's:

1. fitted
2. easy
3. preferably does not require knits or silks... (they're intimidating ; ;)
4. a top or a dress
5. from simplicity, mccalls, butterick, vogue, or burda (retail patterns not those sold online).

i'm considering the following, in order of arbitrarily assigned difficulty:

this is rated "average" and my skill level is "very easy." 

(i love this simplicity dress sfm but i am so intimidated by all the darts and pleats and shirring oh my!)

ideas?

liberty case!

pattern used: butterick 5006, knitting needle crochet hook case "b"

outside fabric: upholstery

contrasting fabric: cotton

notions: ribbon

i made this for a friend who knits & crochets. it's called a liberty case because she's from texas and all texans love their liberty and guns more than anything. it was a really really easy project to do. the only hard part was trying to sew through 7~8 layers of fabric (including fleece interfacing...). my poor machine was trudging along, making unhappy noises. i'll definitely make a few more using different fabric combinations. no more fleece interfacing because it's too thick. upholstery fabric is totally unnecessary too. onwards to the pics:

here's a diagram of the different slots:
