I’m finally finished my Ravenclaw hat! If you haven’t seen my Luna hat please click here: Luna Hat. Check out my new video below and I have also posted pictures of the finished hat on my son 🙂

I’m a huge Harry Potter fan. I guess you could say I’m a Potterhead. I’ve been seeing hats like these online and I’ve decided to make my own. I tried to make this screen accurate. I also want to design hats for the rest of the houses. I’m currently finalizing my Ravenclaw pattern which will be coming out soon 🙂
This lion hat is an adult hat but it will fit a small child if you add ties on the flaps. This would be perfect for cosplay, play time and Halloween. My son loves wearing the hats I make and it’s a lot of fun to pretend. Also, if you are giving this to a small child to play with, you can omit the whiskers because they can be quite sharp at the ends.
If you would like to buy the pattern it is in my shop here: Luna Lion Hat Pattern.
This show is adorable. I love it. My kids love it. It’s just a nice, clean show for kids and I don’t have to worry about what they are watching when I put this one. Cory Carson is a show on Netflix and it revolves around Cory and his family. Chrissy also has her own show and it’s so cute. If you guys haven’t seen this show, it’s a must see if your kids love cars. There are tons of shows out there with bad writing and they have generic lines and you have a few chuckles but this show is on another level.
So, being me, I had to make these dolls. My son’s birthday is in July and he got so excited when I started making them. How could I resist? He was excited that I was making them for him. If you want to make Cory and Chrissy Carson please click on this link here: Cory Carson Patterns.
