Sew Easy Reversible Full Apron- my first Ebook! Update





Yeah- my first Ebook ! I am signed up a swapper in the Sassy and Flirty Apron Swap and wanted something different. My partner asked for a full size apron in bright colorful colors- so I picked up out this funky polka dot fabric. I then created the apron pattern so that it would be long enough and reversible . I am working on putting the Ebook together and have already submitted my pictures and idea to www.youcanmakethis.com . So I am crossing my fingers that Kim and the others will like the idea and will want to include my ebook along with their other great selection of patterns. I am looking for 2-3 people who would be interested in testing my ebook out. If you are willing- please just leave a note in the comments. Also - for those of you that have made ebooks- what software/program did you use to make the ebook on?

So what do you think of the apron pattern - I would love to hear your opinion!

Update-
Mama Krit asked about the contrasting front- they are pockets and the neck and waist straps are in the polka dot fabric.
Thank Carlotta and Shelly for volunteering. Once I get the Ebook finished- in a couple days- I will forward it to you all! Thank you for your help!

Melissa that's a lovely apron. I'll keep my fingers crossed with you that you'll be added among the other e-book authors of ycmt. I would love to test the pattern for you if you'd like.

Melissa,
That is beautiful!!
Is that a pocket in the front, or just contrasting color? I love it, love it, love it!

Melissa,
I love it. That would be a perfect apron for my assistant and I for our classroom--for feeding, for positioning, etc. If you're willing, I'd love to test it for you.

GREAT JOB!!!!! I'm so proud of you!!!

I can't wait to see your eBook for it! If you need another tester, I will be happy to do it for you! It's the least I can do!

I use Microsoft Publisher to actually make my eBook and then I publish it into a pdf file. The patterns I scan and then save as a pdf file.

Hello Apron Swap Buddy!
Thank you so much for the great apron and wonderful Valentine's gifts. The fabric you chose is so fun and cheerful, I love it. The quality fabric you chose is so burly and tough, yet soft.
Your blog has great tid-bits of wonder. I see myself coming back to try some fun crafts and recipes.
I hope you have a loving Valentine's Day with your adorable family.
Again, thank you.
