First Sewing Project of the New Year (well, actually, ever)

So after fighting with my borrowed sewing machine for approximately 3 hours, finally getting the bobbin and thread in the correct places, I am embarking on my first sewing project of the new year (well, actually, ever). I know it appears that this blog is devoted to cooking, but ultimately what inspired this lovely little idea to learn how to sew all by myself came from the blog Montessori by Hand (now Sew Liberated). I am beginning cooking classes as an after school activity and I was inspired to learn how to make the Montessori Aprons on Sew Liberated. I have enrolled in a sewing 101 class (um, online) and I am attempting to get good enough at sewing to learn how to sew these aprons. With no further ado, HERE I GO!
