I am so excited to be able to offer this great giveaway being sponsored by You Can Make This! As I mentioned in the previous post I met Kim and Kris who started the site at a conference in September.
Their site is a library of hundreds of down-loadable patterns you can purchase for anything from an apron to a beaded necklace or how to bake a pie! It’s just like a virtual home ec class. I loved using the pattern for the reversible headbands – so easy to use and understand!
In these hard economic times, people are becoming more and more interested in Do It Yourself (DIY). This is especially true with Christmas coming up and people wanting to make some of their gifts.
All the instructions for the down-loadable patterns are written by everyday moms who have an expertise in an area. They are written in a way that makes you feel you have a friend sitting right next to you, telling you what to do next. They all have detailed instructions and step-by-step pictures so even someone who has never made these before, can do so for their homes and families.
Kim and Kris have graciously donated $50.00 worth of down-loadable patterns for a giveaway to one of my blog readers! You will receive patterns for all of the following darling items!! If you are not a sewer or crafter yourself, now may be a great time to learn or you can give them as a gift to a friend!
Child/Adult Apron Set – I am so making this one. It is darling!!
Women’s Reversible Wrap Skirt - a darling skirt and versatile too!
The “She Loves Me, She Loves Me KNOT” Handbag - I love this bag and am definitely making one for myself!
The Reversible Patchwork Bucket Hat - darling!!!
Easy-Fit Pants - These would make darling holiday pj’s!
Embellished Patchwork Twirl Skirt. - Oh my gosh!! I have to find a little girl to make this for – too cute!!!
Be sure and stop by their site to check out all the amazing things they have available!!

What a fun giveaway! My 3 sons are actually interested in learning how to sew. I would love this!
This is a great giveaway! Thanks for letting us know about this site!
I have just started sewing this year and this would be so fun. My daughter and I would love matching aprons!
This sounds right up my alley! I’ve been doing a little sewing for my kids for Christmas related things and wishing I had paid more attention in Home Ec.
This site sounds wonderful. Thanks for sharing!
Oh I would love this. As a mother of 3 girls, I really need to jump on the bandwagon and learn to sew so I can teach them.
my twelve year old would love this …she is much more craftier than her mother…
How wonderful! I’ve been trying to figure out if I can rework a coat (looks like I’m wearing a sack), but need to start with something more basic. That site looks like a great place to start.
So cute. I also had a Mother who tried to teach me how to sew, but I didn’t catch the “bug”. So, I will definitely be taking a look at this website!
Wow, I amazes at this amazing giveaway. I am new to sewing although my mother tried to teach me, I finally took lesson someone at the sewing store, now 15 years later I am teaching myself. I would love to have some patterns to work with.
I LOVE everything! So I’m keeping my fingers crossed!

What a great giveaway. I just found their awesome website a few weeks ago and have so many patterns on my wish list. Thanks for giving me a chance to win a few of them- I have my fingers crossed!!
Thanks so much for posting about this site. I love it and am eager to explore it in depth!
Those are super Cute!!
What a great site–thanks for sharing about it! These all look like fun to make. I’m excited to teach my two daughters some sewing skills. Thanks for the giveaway!
Love your blog! Thanks for the chance to win!
Thanks for passing on the website. Sadly, I am one who never learned to sew! Scout patches are a nightmare for me!
Thanks, so cute.
Exactly what I need – easy and downloadable!
Wonderful giveaway! I have been wanting to teach my daughters to sew and these patterns look like they would be perfect!
Now, those are some cute patterns! I know just who to make that twirly skirt for, and the aprons, too.
Wow, what a great giveaway. I’ve been looking at some of those patterns for a while now.
I love youcanmakethis! I’ve been eyeing the apron and twirl skirt for a while. Just in time for last minute Christmas gifts!
What a great site… I love sewing but have not found the balance between it, 2 little boys, and the rest of mommy… I would love to make myself an apron and the boys a couple of things…
I’d like to enter
What an awesome website! I can’t wait to try some of those patterns. Thanks for the fun giveaway!
Excellent blog – I loved reading your story. I love everything on you can make this. com. My mother still doesn’t know how to nor want to sew. I’m mostly self taught. Congratulations to whomever wins, though I’d love for it to be me. :<)
Great article. We love YCMT.com! My daughter is just getting into sewing also and we are having so much fun together. It is great bonding time.
I’m so glad you highlighted this site – I’ve never heard about it but I already know I am going to be spending a lot of time looking around. How fun! Thanks, Leigh Anne.
I’ve been looking at apron patterns and can’t decide. A free one would make it easy!!LOL
This has ME written all over it. Your website LeighAnne has transformed me into a cook! If I can see a picture, I can do it. Now these projects will not only give me a picture of what to do, but directions? Count me in!
Great giveaway! These sewing projects look really fun!
I’ve been trying to teach my girls to sew for the last few years…. I love these fun, doable projects! Thanks for sharing!
I guess I need to get my sewing machine out and start trying some of these things. They all look like it would be fun to try to make any of these. I really like the wrap a round skit and I would like the hand bag for sure. thanks for another give away, but my chance of winning is very unlikly but I may just to go and buy the pattern.
I have a three little granddaughters if you need one to make a pattern for. Just let us know I have a 7 year old and a 4 years and a 16 month old.
I just started to teach myself to sew and would love more projects to create. Thanks for filling us in on this site!
Wonderful!! I have two little girls, and I’m just starting to try to sew things for them. Crossing my fingers!!
Too cute! I’d love to win some patterns! I’m like you, a seamstress whose daughter did NOT learn how to sew. I tried! Wish you would have been around when she was younger Leigh Anne!
Thanks for relating your story! I’m now feeling so much less guilty for not teaching my girls how to sew. At least they know how to COOK!
I haven’t sewed anything in ages but I’m sure excited to start after seeing the YCMT website. Thanks for letting us know about it.
What a wonderful website. . . . .I’d love to win! THANKS!
How exciting! I just got my mom’s sewing machine and am beginning sewing lessons. What a great gift this would be!
I love that website! They have such interesting ideas- and easy to understand directions! Even I can figure them out! Love the headbands!!!
Darn it, I was hoping there would be less entries! lol. This one was made for me! Santa brought me a sewing machine this year and it’s sitting under my tree with a big red bow on it. I know how to *use* a sewing machine (as in thread it etc), but it’s been years since I’ve done it, and to be honest, I don’t really know how to sew, lol. So I’m SEW (haha) excited to go check out that website. That’s exactly what I need. Here’s me sending subliminal messages over the internet- pick me pick me pick me! lol.
They look cute. It’s always fun to win something.
How awesome!! I love to sew and love the You Can Make This site. What a wonderful giveaway!!
What cute patterns! Thanks for letting us know about the blog/site. I will definitely be checking it out!
How nice…all the patterns look adorable!
Love the website. Can’t wait to try some patterns!
I NEED this giveaway!!
It has been years since I used a sewing machine. I will definitely check out the website. I think people appreciate homemade items. The headbands are so cute and turning them into flowers, very creative!
Thanks
I have hear about this company. I would be absolutely thrilled to win this.
I assume “you can make this” does actually require a sewing machine, right?
Maybe I’ll get one if I win!!
I just recently discovered your website and have been loving it. The YCMT one is great too! I taught myself to sew and there is so much I still don’t know, so they will great help! Thanks!
my mother in law taught me to sew this summer and I am having so much fun! I would love to make some of those cute skirts for my little girl. Thanks for letting us know about this site!!!
HI, I love your website. I find such joy in reading your blog. I enjoy all the recipes and the helpful information that you post. I think this is such a wonderful give away. I have a 11 year old daughter who loves to do crafts and I am running out of ideas. I would love to win!
I love it! I just checked out the website and fell in love with so many things. I got my daughter a sewing machine for Christmas last year, but alas I cannot figure out how to thread the thing ether! So I can relate. My mother is great at sewing and quilting. I think it skipped a generation.
What an amazing giveaway! Adorable!
Ewww, can you submit projects too!
I always check your website because you always have such great ideas and recipes! I don’t really know how to sew but I do have a sewing machine that needs to be used more often! I’ll have to check out the website you’ve recommended!
I have been looking for sewing classes in my area forever! I have a 3yr who loves to help Mommy in the kitchen. I’ve been dying to learn how to sew her a cute lil apron. This would be perfect!
I just bought a new sewing machine. I would love to win this. I did have to sew in Home Ec. but that was a long time ago.
Leigh Anne – I am always inspired by your blog and loce that you have intoduced us to this new website. I have spent more time making things this year and forgot how much I love it. I will be making some of these projects for my girls!
The aprons are darling! My daughter would love it if we had matching ones!
I think I left a comment on the wrong post, so here I am again. Still wishing to win this awesome giveaway, I love and can use every pattern that’s included. Thanks
Oh how I’m loving your blog! A friend directed me here because she was bloghopping and found you! Funny thing is, we both used to be in your direct sales downline at different times, under Karen H.! Anyway, love your blog and LOVE this new site…I homeschool, but cannot teach my kids very well when it comes to sewing, scrapbooking or photography. I”m too critical!
I love your website! Cute patterns. I would love a chance to win!
I love to sew, I have helped my 15 year old niece to learn and am teaching the 9 year old niece to knit. She is having so much fun. I think it is wonderful you are helping teach sewing, everyone need to know how.
I will be showing the girls all the patterns on you wedsite. Thanks.
Wow, these are great!
This website is pure genius. Very, very cool!
I LOVE this! I recently moved away from my mom who was my “go to” on all sewing needs! How fun it would be to sew some of these for her and totally surprise her with my skills! Thanks for the great giveaway Leigh Ann!
So cute! What a fun giveaway!
This is too funny. These guys were on one of our local TV shows this morning, Good Things Utah.
I would make everything!
My mom gave me her old sewing machine, and I would love to make aprons for me and my daughter.
I love YCMT! I found your blog through them and I am excited to continue following. YCMT has been a huge blessing to me. The patterns are always so easy to follow and I am always thrilled with the results. People actually think I am a seamstress because of all the cute outfits I can make for my girls. I laugh and tell them They Can Make This Too!
OH, where to start, where to start! So much crafting to be done! I can’t wait to try some of the patterns and my little girls would be thrilled!!! Thanks! Love the website!
Wow, you are very popular
