I can not for the life of me find the Michael’s Gingerbread House pattern. Can you help with a direct link. Thanks
Tamara Kelly
Hi Fran! They moved it, now it’s only available via web archive – I’ve updated the link. You have to scroll way way down the page to find it though.

Good morning
Love all those patterns. It’s so hot here in Oz at Christmas so thought the house would be cute to make.
When I click on the gingerbread house link it doesn’t work.
Is there another link you could send me please?
Thanks so much
Kim

I’m sorry, it looks like Michaels has removed all access to that pattern. 🙁 I’ll see if I can find a replacement!
