Simplicity Patterns - What to Sew First?

What to sew first? I bought all these neat Simplicity patterns for 97 cents each at Walmart and can't wait to get busy! I am thinking the pattern for the giant letters will be a fun one for the grandgirls this summer when they are here for 2 weeks.
There were a few others that I wanted to get but they were out of stock. I think this is plenty to get me started on some new sewing projects!

Simple Apron = Good Memories

I found this adorable printed pattern for an apron at Walmart in the clearance bin for $1.80. It was simple to put together and reminded me of my first sewing project in Home Economics in the 9th grade. Now that is a good memory! I loved my Home Ec teacher, Mrs. Caldwell. She was such a wonderful teacher.
Here are the pieces cut out - a total of 5. The instructions were printed on the panel.
Here is the finished project. It took me about 2 hours from start to finish.
It is a cute country print with hens on the flounce and the body has a chicken wire print.  I can't remember the last time I wore an apron - probably the one I made in 9th grade! ha!
