It is a striking design.
I just looked at the eleanor burns video for that. The secondary projects look feasible - if you wanted to do them.
What I do differently from her - when she undoes the stitching so she can spin the seams - she was snipping the thread even with the seam line.
I leave the quarter inch or so of thread uncut because I think that leaving it improves the chances of the seam staying sewn.
