The hoods were worn back in ancient times on raincoats, they perfectly protected from wind and rain. Now hoods are available on any clothes, such as jackets, raincoats, coats, sweatshirts, and even robes sew with hoods. But if yours, for example, the coat does not have a hood, then it can be done independently.

First you need to decide on the hood model. They are of different types: swallow, fastening with lightning or buttons, hoods with cuffs, with bright lining and decor parts. Whatever the hood you decide to sew, you will need it for him:
paper for pattern;
material for hood;
material for lining - fur, fleece, any soft fabric;
threads, scissors, pins;
sewing machine.

Responsibly approach the choice of patterns and the construction of the hood. It is easiest to turn it out of two parts, with a latch. You can also sew a hood of three parts, stitching the strip in the middle, or from three elements with a sweeping. To build a hood pattern, you need to measure the length of the throat of the product to which the hood will be sewn, and the height is measuring from the base of the neck through the highest point of the head to its base. It is also necessary to measure the depth of the hood - the distance from the nape to the front cutting of the hood, the depth can be changed at will. If you sew a hood, fastened on the front to the button, then add two rectangular parts to the pattern, which is height from the collar to the chin.

Building patterns start with a rectangle, its base is half the length of the neck, its height is the desired height of the hood. Now I will spin the top corner of the rectangle. You can additionally carve out the strip that we are in the middle of the hood. Or cut off a hood-cap, with a sharp angle in the zadet district. Cut out the finished pattern, we put on the fabric, leaving the allowances on the seams and the edge processing is 1-2 cm, and pins to tissue with pins. Cut the details of the hood from the fabric, if you sew a hood with a lining, then we cut the lining identically to the hood.

All seams are measled with hands, first stitching, then the rest of the seams. Measure the hood and customize it to the desired size and shape. Ready, sour cream hood stitching on a typewriter. The lining is sewn just like the product itself, then stitched inside, the seam passes along the line of its front cut. You can sew a lining deeper than a hood, and turn it out the edge outward, making a cuff.

If you sew a hooded hood, now it should be sewed to the main product. If he is on the buttons or buttons, then sew buttons to the neck of the product, and it is necessary to put a loop on it. Do not forget to process edges and seams on the hood, sew a button to the fastener. You can also sew a product on a lace, for this it is necessary to enhance the tissue strip through which the lace is missing.
Sew a hood on patterns is not at all difficult, it can be decorated with embroidery or decorative buttons. To the sewing process approach the fantasy, and it will not only be protected in bad weather, but also an excellent decoration.
