I've found that this is often the best way. I'm not good at reading instructions and really understanding them without doing them. I just start working thru them and usually figure it out. Well, except for the ill fated StudioKat bag.

It was The Guardian. I thought the instructions were terrible. The ones that came with the bag were hard to understand so you had to go to her website and download more instructions with pictures. As I remember neither set was complete so you had to read back and forth between them. There was also a lot of inconsistency with her terminology. She would call a piece one thing on the pattern and another in the instructions. It was just very hard and confusing. I've made bags from Lazy Girl Designs and Pink Sand without problems. I thought that her construction techniques were weird also which made everything more difficult.
Before you start, do a quick google search for reviews of the pattern. They can be helpful to decide if you really want to make the bag.
