She has a wonderful blog with a fair number of tutorials. I would suggest that you check out some of the tutorials and see if you are able to follow her instructions. Personally, I think she does a nice job. Here's a direct link to her blog tutorials. Good luck and I look forward to seeing some of the projects you make from these patterns. No pressure, though! :-)
