Woo Hoo!  Another adult dresser-upper!  :D  I hate to tell you this, 
Kim, but I bit the bullet and got an actual Gryffindor patch.  I 
know, I know, it was too much.  But by gathering all my pieces from 
thrift stores, I had only spent about 14 dollars.  So I paid the 
price for a patch! :O  It's iron on, but I am only going to pin it 
carefully on the grad robe I am using.  You should take pictures and 
post them!  I would love to see you and your family!
