Congratulations!!!!!
I know how proud you must be with yourself on your pillow. I bet the room will look adorable.
My first sewing job were fancy curtains (I will have to take a pic of them) that are in my living room/dining room. I was amazed by how great they turned out. My aunt who is a seamstress by trade had no clue they were made until my mom told her... she said they looked like a pro did them. I was so happy.
Over thepast 8 years when ever any one needs curtains (from a pattern, or freeform) I do them. They call me the "Curtain Lady". I have made over 70 pairs of curtains for familt, friends and family and friends of friends. My friends mom pays me to do hers. I have made curtains for almost every room in a house. Valences, balloons, fancy, simple and from scratch. I love doing them.
These and crafts I do not mind but I do not think I will ever try to make clothes.

I can just imagine how they would look.
Best of luck with future sewing
