I have done all of Bonnie's mysteries. Her patterns are not difficult to follow but be prepared for lots of sewing. For beginners, I am sure you will be fine. My only caution might be to feel confident with accurate cutting and sewing a 1/4"seam. If you feel unsure (for anyone) print out each lesson and do a few blocks to see if you like her process. I do think you will be hooked! I can't make mine right now so will be following.
