Whilst being far from a sewing expert, I do have some sewing experience (and I'm intelligent) but I found this pattern quite difficult to follow. I feel a lot of it could have been worded differently. I used to write lots of instructions in my career, and was taught to put myself in the eyes of whoever was reading it, and imagining they had never performed that task before, but found these instructions to be written by someone who hadn't done that. I found them very confusing in places, and the pictures werent very clear either. On a positive note, the finished project came out well, although it did take me much longer to make than expected.
