Please could we have more of this and an everyday outfit or three... I could watch you make these all day long. Your talent is immeasurable. Thank you for all you do.
Shannon Wolfe
It's so gorgeous and inspiring! Where can I find buckles like that and my very own pancake? :)
Laura Snyder
I love this project and tutorial - I just followed along and made my own to wear this Halloween season 🖤
Jess
I have been dying to learn to make hats! I can't wait to try this!! Thank you for the tutorial!❤️❤️❤️
Sarah Rowland
This hat blows my mind! I sew, and have been wanting to make an epic witch hat! I am so inspired and have followed your friend who makes these hats for further inspiration! Gorgeous!
Nicky Warner
Oh yes! The feather?! Would it have been one adornment too far? Ooh I doubt it 😄
Nicky Warner
✨This (and the making of Pancake 🐸episode) might be my favourite- just absolutely so BEAUTIFUL and so expressive and so exquisitely done. So much joy, thank you thank you for sharing this. Please consider allowing a few of us who would Desperately love to join you, come and have a hat making session- it would be amazing working so hard, creating different interpretations with different familiars on the brim 🪲🐸🦎🕷️🦇🐞 and a small celebration after. Such joy, thank you. I just joined Patreon so just found this episode, wow 🥰
Tessara Dudley
Seconding curved needles—they really make some tasks way easier in hatmaking!
Brandy Byhoffer
Stunning hat, your craftsmanship never ceases to amaze me. Btw these videos are getting me through overnight cluster feeding with my newborn. Can’t wait til he’s old enough to watch your videos with me
Andie C
I was just wondering about that, too!
Lisa Nelson
The FEATHER!! The FEATHER!!! Where’s that stunning feather?!?! Such a stunning hat.
sandra perez
Wow! This is amazing! More hat making please.
Evalina Roze
Been a fan since day one of Curious Creations! My daughter and I still binge the one only and season ever made. Which blows my mind! Definitely needed more seasons! My family and I visited Salem, MA last fall and we are hoping to go back again end of this year. So much to see and the locals are genuinely welcoming! Definitely inspired to make one each for myself and my daughter. Simply beautiful! Thank you Christine, for continuing to share your creations with all of us!
Laura Snyder
Oh my goodness this is stunning! I think this might be my favorite episode yet. I am completely inspired to make my own for next Halloween at the Salem Night Market. Yes! Please make more hat episodes!
Hannah Graham-de Vries
Can’t express how much I love watching the process and then seeing the incredible end result of your projects. It’s meditative <3

Christine I don't know if you will read this but I hope you do. The National Hat Museum in Portland Oregon https://www.thehatmuseum.com/ has shut its doors (another Covid victim) and they have sold the Victorian home it was in. The current collection is well over 2,000 hats and they are trying to figure out what to do with it as the prior owner passed away. I know that your friend Dita is a collector and lover of vintage hats, as is other people like Rachel Maksy. I was hoping that you could talk to anyone you may know in the industry and see if there is any way to move the collection or re-open it in a different location. It would be a pity for such a huge amount of fashion history to be lost. It looks like they are starting to sell some off on etsy. As a lover of hats and history I hope a solution can be found. It sounds like the current director of the museum is asking for any help or ideas.

Absolutely beautiful
Ashley Lucero
Happy Friday the 13th 🖤 my favorite Friday’s
Tania McIntyre
I trained as a Milliner, even though some of your methods made me cringe. I love the end result. Moulding felted fabric or using buckram might make it easier to do. Also the curved needles make life so easy. So beautiful. Do some more Please

Hi Dawn! On the support webpage, Patreon explains response times may take up to (or maybe over) a week given the extreme demand. I suggest sending a follow-up email, but I bet they'll respond soon. They also ask that the support email be used for log-in or payment issues. I also found this on the patreon support website: "If you need assistance with a request that is not regarding a payment or login issue, connect with us on Twitter, where we can respond faster (generally 1-2 business hours.) Our Twitter support hours are from 9:00AM to 4:00PM Pacific (California) Time." You can connect with the Patreon Support Twitter here: http://twitter.com/PatreonSupport I find that I get great responses over Twitter. Good luck!
Dawn Klemn-Thomson
Hayley - I messaged Christine McConnell and Patreon Support and haven’t received a response yet from either. I can’t find a customer service ph# or any other contact info for Patreon. Any suggestions?
Hayley
A creator can’t do anything to solve issues with an account, you’ll have to contact customer service. 👍
Dawn Klemn-Thomson
@christinemcconnell - I’m having a problem with my Patreon account. I tried messaging you on Jan 4th and messaged Patreon Support and have gotten no replies. Hoping you’ll see this comment and reach out to me to resolve issue. Thanks
M Green
Me as well! I enjoy all your creative energy! Thank you and hope the New Year is wonderful for you and your family
Liana Palumbo
I'm late watching this. Too much craziness has happened but thank you for always putting your all into every episode. I hope you and your family had a wonderful Yule and New Year 💜💜
Nicole Weeks
I love this so much! I would love to see more hat episodes for sure!
Jessica Hissem
I am always in awe of your creations
Alyne Whiteswan
Everything you do is extra extra marvelous! Beautiful hat!
Margaux Allard
wOw loved this I will definitely have to try my hand at making one of these... When I eventually make one can I post a pic of it on here somewhere so you can see it??
Welikemeatloaf
Truly beautiful!! For the less creatively adventurous, you can find reprints of vintage hat patterns on the Internet. I made my mother a structured beret and matching gloves for Christmas last year. Wrapped it all up in a vintage hatbox (also found on the Internet) and ended up with a present I really didn’t want to give away!
Mandysimo
I truly did love this episode and would love to see more hat content in the future. Super good job!
matilda gaona
WOOOW!!😍😍
Wanda Jones
Wow the hat is perfect, would love to see more hat episodes.
Olga Lepistö
Whenever Christine says she doesn't know much about a craft or isn't an expert on it, we pretty much know we're in for an incredible project regardless :D ...and this was obviously no different. WOW that hat is so beautiful!! I've been dreaming of making a witch's hat of my own and shall definitely try some of these techniques. Waiting for more hat episodes! <3
Lauren Carman
I finally got to watch this episode today. My 9 yo son is a big fan and he made his own Pancake!
Anita Gonzales
The Winter Hat came out so beautiful! Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
Morgan Gauthier
Wow I loved this!! Would love to see more hat videos😍
Aunt Debbie Halloween
That was a brilliant way to cover the bendy shape of the crown - I never would have thought to do it like that! And the curve of the brim is gorgeous and the pointed shape of the ribbon on the back is pure serendipity! SO fun to see where the buckle and Pancake would end up! Thank you for another great video!
Trace
SPECTACULAR HAT!!!
Kena Bowers
Yes, Matching outfits too!
Deb McGrath
I loved this so much! Along with this gorgeous winter witches hat, how amazing would it be to see a spring, summer and autumn witches hat? Yes, I know, once something is done the tendency is we move on. But this is just so cool, I would love to see what Christine would do with those other seasons. 😃
Jane Good
I called it! I knew it was going to be some kind of awesome hat. Exceeded my expectations once again with how beautiful it came out! I love pancake so much. Amazing!
Rebecca Valentine
Absolutely yes! Love that hat!
Anna Wilson
This is so freaking adorable! Pancake is the very best part. <3
Marti Kennedy
This hat is amazing. I'd love to see more hat episodes! Merry Christmas :)
Jessicka Catherine
Definitely yes to more hat episodes please!
lisa alderton
I have wanted a hat like this for soooo long ! Thank you and yes to more hat / accessory making episodes, would love to see you work on a brooch in a similar fashion to pancake. Merry Christmas xx
Deb McGrath
Just incredible!!!
Joyce Mitchell
Yes to more hat episodes! I’ve recently become interested in millinery and want to learn all the things. Discovering you feels very fortuitous.🔮☺️🧙♀️
Tammy R Dowden
THAT. HAT. It is absolutely stunning. I haven't seen a marvelous hat like that since Zoe Benson's in AHS: Coven.
Allison Hallstrom
Beautiful creation! I loved watching your process. I don’t know if you have heard of dharma trading company, but they sell all kinds of fabric dye supplies, many of which are specific to synthetic fabrics and produce a much better result than rit dye. They have a website and are very knowledgeable and helpful. Hope that helps you in the future!
Jasmine Blossom
Christine PLEASE do something revolving around your amazing wardrobe and outfits. Your style is to die for! Even if it's just a little lookbook for each season or occasion, or how you co-ordinate yourself.
DMCM
Beautiful work as always. I’ve always wanted to know what got you interested in the dark side of life. Could you let us know? Merry Christmas 🎄🎄🎄
Moth
I absloutely want to see a witch hat for all the seasons! <3 Also I noticed some lampshade techniques in this video.
Alyse Kiyuna
I can honestly say that this is one of my favorite episodes!!! I’m still obsessed with the OG pull out snake couch episode and the planter boxes from the old house but this really did it for me!!! Lol Thank you so much and Merry Christmas!!! 🎁🦇
Laura Chambers
This was a great episode!
Savannah Alexandra
stunning, magickal, & genius as always!🖤✨ I was so excited to see James Jeffers holiday wrapping collection under your tree!! I personally bought so much of it & hope it lasts me for years of Yule to come. Merry Yule & Happy Solstice 🕸❄️
Jayne Dion
Merry Christmas and thank you Christine! Always inspirational!
Lisa Kay Brown
The word wonderful pretty much covers this!
Jess Meister
So beautiful, and a perfect spot for pancake! Merry Christmas 🎄
Katherine S.
I enjoyed this so much and can’t wait to give it a go myself!!
Megan
From the mind of Christmas McConnell
Laura Auld
I love it so much.
anya fortygin
I didn’t see any of that coming when you first said you are going to use window mesh to create the hat— a very beautiful creation indeed. And Pancake is just delightful.
Diane McCarty
What a great job on the hat! More hat episodes would be awesome. Hope you and your family have a very Merry Christmas!!🎄
Noni
So beautiful 😍
Jenny McKinsey
Merry Christmas and happy holidays everyone! Pancake is such a little SMOOSH (that's my own term for adorable animals and is always said in a high-pitched voice, usually reserved for precious puppies and kitties). It would be wonderful to see more clay figurine projects if possible and I concur with everyone else that hat projects would be lovely to see as well! Three hats that I think you could do justice to recreating would be the "Titanic" hat (the one Kate Winslet wears at the beginning of the movie), Audrey Heburn's black and white hat that she wears in "My Fair Lady" in the scene when Liza attends opening day at the Ascot race, and lastly the white and red hat that Julie Andrews wears in "Mary Poppins" when she's in the chalk drawing with Bert. Also I'm so sorry to hear about your allergic reaction (I saw that in the last live stream)! I suffered an allergic reaction too to meds that lasted daily for months in 2021 (hives, itching, swelling, neurological episodes, chest pain, and suppressed breathing), and I still react (with hives, itching, and sometimes neurological episodes) to a range of chemicals and medications (according to my allergist my immune system went into bonkers hyper drive). What has helped me is eating anti-inflammatory foods (broccoli, etc) and also having Allegra (over-the-counter antihistamine medication) in the house just in case I have a reaction that gets out of control. According to my doctors, Allegra does not surpass the blood-brain barrier, unlike Benadryl, which is a first generation drug. I took Benadryl to control my allergic reaction initially for weeks and that landed me in the hospital with neurological (seizure like) episodes. Also if you don't have an epipen you may want to ask your doc to write you an RX so you have it just in case for peace of mind. Sorry this is a long post-just hope my experience helps! I empathize wholeheartedly, and hope you get well soon!
Katie Edge Mellor
Pancake is brimming with joy!
Marina salinas
I would love to see as many sewing or accessory crafting as you would like to create :) it’s hard to find styles like this.
Anna Radaelli
Loved the hat!! Please do more and Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays and Happy New Year!
Mina Murray
It's been a while since I made a hat, but you've inspired me to get out my millinery supplies again. I've only work with buckram, mull, millinery wire, and a lot of hand stitching; I never thought of wire mesh and hot glue...
Suzy
I would love for you to make more hats. Especially with the cute little accessories!
Marijke Peeters
I’m in love!! Its amazing!
Zoe
finally got around to watching it! i was blown away, the hat was stunning. i would love more along these lines. this might be one of my favourite yet!
Taylor Comeau
Loved this episode! So cute and amazing as always!
Vickie L Burt
This turned out beautifully! But I knew it would.
Jennifer Gabris
Beautiful! I love Pancake on the brim, he adds the whimsical to a stunning hat. I would love to see more hat videos.
Sandra Schumachenko
Honestly, you are the Leonardo da Vinci of crafting. Each time I am thrilled by your skills. I absolutely love your content, best invest ever! Merry Christmas and greetings from Germany!
Sara Sweeney
Oh my word it’s stunning!! Well done Christine and captive ❤️
Alexa F
PANCAKE!!!! This was tooooo cute. I would love more hat episodes. I made a few witch hats this year but would love different styles and techniques to be shown in your videos. This was super cool
Lauren Laney
Christine I am in awe of your ability to visualize and create a 3 dimensional project! Thank you so much for the beautiful Christmas card and I hope you will have a very Merry Christmas!
Kaitlin
One of my favorite episodes of yours, this came out amazing!!
mathewcarson
Beautiful!

Gorgeous. And yes, more hat making episodes please!
Christie
Loved this so much! More hats please
Amy Bainbridge
Amazing 🤩 what a hat!!! I want to make one, I don’t think we have screen like that readily available here in the UK, will have to have a think 🤔😁 definitely want a pancake 🐸🤣
Heart W
Will the cat feather be used on another hat episode? :D
Erika Knihti-Van Driessche
Oh my gosh this is so beautiful, and so Christine!! Absolutely gorgeous!

Beautiful!
Maura Raymond
What is your nail colour?
Meghan MacKrous
wow! Fantastic! I would love to see more hat episodes!!
Thea Maia
More hats! More hats! This was stunningly gorgeous. I’m a hat collector and I love to decorate my hats. But my head is HUGE so even custom hats I’ve had made don’t fit me. The screen was a genius idea and I’m going to try a mad hatter hat. If it works, I want a tilt hat that looks like a cup and saucer! Thank you!
Heather Cherry-Roberts
❤️ it!
Carla Bucco
loved this episode!!!
Nicholas Frig
I may have missed it because I am watching while at work so I am having to do this as incognito as possible. Did the feather get used?
Amie Bell
AH-MAZING!!!! I wanted to see it on you!
Kathy Ann
I love the hat and would love more hat episodes! I have a large head so it’s hard to find hats!
Tracy
Great timing! I had just picked up a few library books on millinery crafting this morning!
Killian Kincaide
My goodness, this turned out so great and it's a project that I will try in the future months!!!!
Carol Jollymore
I love it love it LOVE IT!!
James Jeffers
Oh my gosh, thank you so much!! You are so kind and thoughtful, I am so happy to share some of the magic and whimsy! You are the best!
Mononoke Adams
Amazing episode thanks for sharing. I have been wanting to create my own witch hat and now I have an outline to get started so thank you. Yes, I want more hat tutorials.
Christine McConnell
James!! I saw your comment on a livestream in November and went to find the paper you designed! I bought as much as I could and I love it SO MUCH! You are amazingly talented :D
Cathleen Murray
What happened to the feather!? Love the hat.
Kristin Wright
This was one of my favorite episodes ever and that hat is absolutely stunning! Christine, you make things so accessible and you are so inspiring. Thank you! P.S. I love Pancake and I think he needs his own Instagram account.
Rachel J. Ammirati
Love this! Would definitely like to see you create more hats. Merry Christmas, and thank you for always bringing me so much joy! ❤️☠️💚
James Jeffers
Loved this so much! This reminded me of a very elegant version of La Befana, a lil Italian folktale of a witch who brings good children treats and bad children a lump of coal! Also, omg thank you so much for showcasing some of my wrapping paper! I was so shocked to see it and immediately shed some tears of joy. You have been such an inspiration and it means the world to me. Wishing you and yours truly a wonderful yuletide season and kisses to all the critters, ghosts, and bats! xx 🎄🕯⭐️🍪❤️🧙🏻♀️🐸🧹
Alaskan Rock Vodka

Rebecca Phelps
I love this episode!
Anne Z Knight
I made a velvet Minerva McGonagall hat from scratch a few years ago, and gosh, I wish this episode existed back then! So many great tips, and such an awesome piece. Thank you!
Sherry Thompson
Wow!!! I hope we can see you wearing it at some point.
Jamie
Oh my gosh! I just started the episode and realized I used to have that same red floral vintage dress! Mine had a slightly more pencil shaped skirt but it's the same top portion, color, and fabric. The construction on that thing was BEAUTIFUL and I'm so tickled to see it on you. 😻
Ari
What a beautiful hat! I was expecting to see the Poof feather on it too, but still it is gorgeous. And yes please more hats, 50s or 60s Dior style but with your own spooky twist! Merry Christmas to you and Grand from Athens, Greece! <3
Hermine-Virginie Simon
