I know I'm late to this discussion, but I also have to chime in that the PR patterns are not very straightforward. I'm good with patterns, but those were confusing. You might also try getting another pattern to try that walks you through step by step. The way the PR ones are set up where they describe all the different elements can be hard to wade through.
That being said...can't wait to see what you sew! Congrats on starting an addiction
