🎃 Let’s make a cute little witch hat for Halloween! In today’s sewing tutorial, I’m showing you how to make an easy felt witch hat with a FREE sewing pattern! 💜✂️ I originally made these little witch hats for my dolls, but of course…I couldn’t leave my porch geese out!

🪿 So I created sizes for dolls AND porch geese.


The pattern includes sizes for:

💕 6" Doll

💕 14" Doll

💕 18" Doll

🪿 17" Porch Goose

🪿 23" Porch Goose


This is a fun little Halloween sewing project and a great way to use up felt scraps. You can leave your witch hat simple and floppy, or add a running stitch to create that cute scrunched look and lightly stuff it for a little more shape. 🧙‍♀️✨
