The pattern itself is super simple and instructions are beginner-friendly. Photos on the instructions were unfortunately small and blurry which could be problematic for visual learners. I will also say that as a smaller-framed individual, the apron was just way too wide for me (too much fabric on my sides and shoulder straps kept falling off during use). I will be gifting it to someone it will better suit. This is not a one-size fits all apron but would probably work if you are not size XS or S. I'm going to try to modify the pattern pieces to get a better fit on me. Thank you!
