You did a great job even if you had a few hiccups.
It wasn't hard, but it was complicated. I am also a garment sewer, and I had the devil of a time with the zippers - the instructions just didn't make sense. Thank goodness for my (very good) teacher! There is a good tutorial with lots of pictures on the Quilt Barn blog. The only thing really hard was keeping all the layers together smoothly for the final steps. It is an awful lot of layers and a real challenge to hold.
This is experience was enough to convince me not to go back and try again on "The ProfessionalTote" pattern I abandoned a couple of years ago :-)
