Your hood reminds me of a Medieval hood with a short cape called a 'chaperon' (middle French/old English), literally a protective hood. Let's call this a chaperon and celebrate that it is the only chaperone that a modern young women needs!
Ooh, I love the look where you crisscross the front and tie at the waist -- I kind of want to combine that with a rounded back drape, to get a sort of sci-fi version of that American Duchess cape everyone was so into.
I was literally thinking the exact same thing! I think the front sections might need darts, and the shoulder seam lowered for this to work well...but I'm a beginner so not really sure
I'm so glad you reviewed how to make hoods. I find them so tricky and always end up with a cone head... defiantly trying your method next! Hopefully that works out better :)
I was tired of the cone-ish effect! Better slightly kitten eared on top than that 😂
I dunno, I kinda like the pointy hood look. 😄
@@TheClosetHistorian I think that kitten eared hoods could be the next big thing! Hats with ears are always the right answer. 😸
At 17:17 your remark about having a full bobbin brought back a memory. The machine I bought in 1984 has a lot of whizzo features I still really like, but at the time one of the features made me laugh with derision: it has a sensor in the bobbin area so that, when clear bobbins are used, a flashing light on the head will warn me that I'm nearly out of thread. "Who doesn't know how much thread is in the bobbin?" he scoffed. Then one day while sewing a very long drapery seam it warned me, and I saw the light in more ways than one.
I should also report that for years I thought heated car seats were for cold weather candy-ass amateurs, even though winters where I live now can be brutal. The car I bought in the fall of 2009 came with them and I used them that winter. I didn't see any light that time, of course, but I did realise that I had a candy-ass after all.
If you thought there was a behaviour pattern developing here, you'd be dead right. 😂
The longer triangles cinched in the back are reminiscent of the American Duchess cape that I've been procrastinating. I would love to add a hood to it if I ever get around to it, so this is very helpful!
Ooh great idea!
I was just thinking the same thing!
I want to make a few more cloaks and capes, and the pattern I have does not lead me to a state of rapture. The hood has been a significant part of the problem. I want to thank you for putting this out into the world. 🕊✨️🐈⬛
Peace and joy be unto you!
Thank you! I hope it works for you!!
Love the mention of Thread chicken, in crochet theirs yarn chicken too :)
Have you ever thought of making one of "Effee" (sp?) Style dresses from Hunger Games? Any of them would be FABULOUSLY! WELCOME BACK!
Thank you Marcie! I don't really copy designs from films personally, I just like creating my own stuff more! But Effie Trinket is awesome ✨
@@TheClosetHistorian I think they meant Effie/Hunger Games inspired, rather than a direct copy. Much like the dress inspired by Blade Runner.
The freedom in your teaching is so encouraging 💜 And yay, hoods! Lol Thank you sensei 🙏
🔥🔥🔥
My gosh, you made that so clear that I now have confidence that I could make one myself. I'll get started as soon as the game of "fabric roulette" in my head ends. Lol I think I might even try this in a scarf weight fabric for this spring, adding a comb clip to it. It would be so dramatic in windy conditions.
Thank you! A comb or loop for bobby pins is such a good idea!
@@TheClosetHistorian Anytime. Glad you like the idea, too!
I have got to make me some of these! Now, to see if it's as simple as it appears lol mockup for the win for sure 🤣 TFS
BRB, off to make a hooded cape.
Hoods are wonderful! Great for warmth and to keep the sun off.
Hi Bianca, I just love watching you work. The hood was lovely.
Thank you Debra!
Perfect timing! I have been trying to find a hood pattern in my stash to fit a cape pattern I have. Thank you for the amazing videos and detailed explanation. 🙂
I need to replace all my shawls with reiteration of this :D
as someone obsessed with drafting and sewing liripipe hoods, this was exceedingly helpful!!!
Ooooooh okay with the white/neon one, I'm getting total SciFi Noir Dame vibes. I love it!
Also, the smoked out blue lower lid + pop of neon is a gorgeous eyeshadow look!! If I ever get back into wearing makeup, I'll have to try something like that
Thank you! Sci Fi Noir dame is the constant goal for sure ✨
Ooooh... When I see the white and neon one on your sewing table it really reminds me of a Luna Moth (because of the split back.) But both colors give me "Cyberpunk Assassin's Creed" vibes when you're wearing them. Love it!
I need to raid my fabric stash and make a few of these - thank you for the detailed instructions!
Thank you Amy!
This was wonderful! Exactly what i was looking for. Very nice instructions too
I loved the swallowtail element of the white and neon yellow hood and also how you made the front long enough to cross and tie behind your back. I could layer this with everything!
Thank you Roxanne!
Leaving the hood dart off? Blasphemy!! I feel like there is TCH rule somewhere that says Must Sew At Least One Dart Per Project. 😂
Ohhh!!! The all-black crinkle fabric scarf gives me very strong Star Wars vibes! I'm sure there is one in brown hiding in Obi-Wan's wardrobe to be dramatically throw off at the first opportunity. 😍
I am indeed going to be making a brown one soon and shall feel desert Jedi vibes ✨
Yay for the tutorial! I love the mystery a hood offers. I made a hooded cape out of wool and I feel like I'm in LoTR when I wear it lol 😆
Be mysterious 😂✨
Very Medieval of you! This is a real fun piece and seem surprisingly practical. I'm thinking fleece... hmm
Thank you! Now a cyberpunk knight sounds preeeety awesome to me 🤖
Oh my GOD I am obsessed, immediately starting one when I get home from work !!!
So cool! Thanks again for showing us!
The landing strip down the center of the hood is a helpful thing, I’ve also done one across the front like a headband. When you are adding ears or horns to your hood more seams are helpful.
Whoa!!! I have the perfect fabric for this, love the look!
Thank you Maude!
I'm so excited to try this.
Love you so much for making this one💖
looks lovely! excited to try this out even though I'm gonna have to do quite a bit of mathing to get all the inches and points for the hood to into the metric system 😂
Yeah I hate that we US people are so different than the rest of the world's measurements. Whenever I make jewelry I prefer to use the metric system. It's so much more accurate I think. Wish we would change to it but Wow, that will never happen nor is ever even discussed here. Good luck!
@@Kera.S. right! a friend of mine explained all the math behind the diffrences between inches and feet, (and other measurements like cups and so forth) and I honestly ended up more confused 😂 I'm pretty sure i can get a ruler that has both inches and cm though, so I might look around for those
Darn imperial measurements 😅 Sorry about that! Thank you!
Whatever I personally feel about the metric versus imperial system, it might be easier and faster to mark the drawing paper with little points and use that "cheat"
@@BramvdBurg if you do find one, please let us know. I do metric system but found easier to have two sets of rules, one in inches, another in cm. I change them depending on whose pattern drafting I'm following.
This cape looks super awesome! You made the instructions so clear that I think I might give this a try! Amazing!
Thank you!!
As stated by so many already, I need to get busy on one of these!! Might even create a whole sci-fi look! Thanks for your great videos and inspiration!
Thank you Ashley!
OooOoOoooOooooh I like the shape of this hood!
Wow, that looks so cool. You would have fit right in with us in the 80's (don't be offended). You would have been that fashion forward person that people would mimic with your unique style. Love it!!!
Thank you Deborah! No offense to the 80's, I love the 80's exuberance!
@@TheClosetHistorian Great. So many people talk bad about the 80's, but it was so super fun.
I love these hoods
I want to make a hooded cloak later in the year. So I am so excited to watch this!
Oooh, thank you! I'm on a bit of a mission to increase the versatility of my current wardrobe, and I've been pondering separate hoods. I love the shawl section, it visually anchors the hood beautifully around the shoulders. I'm kind of tempted to make one in cosy hoodie sweatshirt fabric 😍
So cool!
after seeing that neon fabric i got a hankering for lemon meringue pie
I can always go for some lemon pie!! I love lemon 😍🍋🍋🍋
I feel my most powerful when im going villain chic. I want to make one of these!
Villain chic forever 🦇✨
You are my favorite thing about Thursday.
Thanks so much for this! Hoods have always been super scary to draft and I've avoided them for a looooooong time. Will definitely give this a go! 😊
And yes thread chicken is a thing, a close relative of yarn chicken 😂
good start to the New Year Ms. B!!!
The hood goodness is great! I think I’m going to try a drama alone hood with the straps for summer since I’m allergic to the sun, yes I’m a vegetarian vampire lol
This is so fab!
Thank you Kimberly!
Thank you! ❤🥰
Thank you for the hood pointers. Enjoyed the color combinations.
Thank you!
I'm so glad you did this! What a neat and versatile accessory!
Thank you Mandy!
Such a cute hood! Thanks for sharing the process 😊
Thank you!
Ooh, I love the waxed cotton look. I so badly lost a game of thread chicken yesterday. Ran out with maybe two inches of very visible, front and centre top stitching to go. That'll teach me
Dang it! I hate it when that happens 😩🧵 Thank you Holly!
So awesome! 🙏 ❤
Thank you Tara!
Your hood is beautiful on the short shawl; but, it would never stay on your head in a wind storm. When I was in the Women's Army Corps, I was issued a havelock made from the same fabric as my raincoat. It buttoned under my chin and fit snugly over my hat. The wind never loosened that havelock, no matter how bad the storm. I never lost my hat (and my hat never got wet). However, all women in the W.A.C. looked like Army green Nuns in those raincoats and havelocks.
Really clear n straightforward if we slow the 1st part...love love the variations!! Thanks so much 🙏 💓
I love this. Thank you very much. I made one from wool for winter and another from waterproof fabric to throw in my bag for spring showers.
Thank you Nina!
Thinking about making a hood for when out walking in the hills. They look so cool.
I need to make one of these… I feel like I will get so much use out of it!
I think I might have to try doing this, thank you for showing me how
Yay hoods! Awesome! You are so talented.
Thank you! I have much to learn ✨🧵
@@TheClosetHistorian me to, I'm glad you share because I learn a lot from you.
Love your looks! And your color palates!
Thank you Caroline!
Love this!! So happy for this tutorial. This is going to be my first attempt to trying one of your tutorials.
Thank you Nadia!
You sound like you feel good today 😊
Very nice job. Thank you.
Thank you!
Pretty cool hood, capey thingie!
Thank you Denise!
Ooh! I need to make one of these in a grey blue color.
This looks like a neon stingray and I am LIVING for manta realness
That was great, thank you. I made a hood to attach to a coat last year, and it worked out surprisingly well!! I will definitely make another hood with your additions though, it really does look wonderful.
Thank you Marie!
Hoods
Thank you!
Very nice! I was expecting spider netting somewhere 🙂. As usual, the cape/ hood looks lovely on you.
Thank you Deb! Maybe a spider web version in the future 😂
So pretty! I’d like to make one now. Just have to decide how long I want those front tails. I like how yours looks a little like that American Duchess cape from a while back, but it looks like yours has a nice fit over the front. That cape sometime had the habit of not working as well over a curvier shape. Might get out my gridded paper and play around with the shapes…
Thank you! I decided longer tails felt more dramatic for sure 😂✨
Love it! Hoods are the best. I wanna try this one! I did a similar kind of shawl thing on an oversized hood a while back. Though I made the shawl parts more lapel shaped with faux fur so it has a fur stole look to it. Fun to make a coat look more epic than it is! I remember looking at hood patterns and being like, but where are the bigger ones? (Impractical? Who is she?) Big hoods are so satisfying. I just need to sew a hair clip into it so it stays on when the wind blows. I'll have to try a new one with the pointy shawl triangles for all the options. 🧣😎
I have a reversible cloak and I need to find a way to keep it up on windy days. I was thinking of a loop sewn on both sides that I could put some hair pins through. Needs some more work, I guess.
@@damogranheart5521 I think loops would work. I do that for keeping on too small hats. But I think one of the claw type hair clips would be more secure on mine since I have so much of it. I just keep forgetting and losing the clips lol
@@ReinaElizondo I hadn't thought of a claw. That sounds as though it would work better than Bobby pins. Thank you for the suggestion. My hair is just about waist length.
excellent! i'll be giving this a try today. tfs:)
I love this saved it to make my own pattern thank you so much❤
Thank you Carol!
it looks SO COOL with the front crossed and tied behind you. I liked it with them thrown over the shoulder like a scarf but with it tied??? New favorite garment idea.
Thank you!!
I need! In all the colours and colour combos!
As a legally blind person, sewing is not in my future though 🤦🏻♀️😭
A good source for hoods like these might be renaissance or medieval history reenacting suppliers! Separate hood/scarves things were definitely a thing and I have seen them replicated ❤️
The frequency of you ending up looking like some sort of Space Empress/mercenary fever dream is truly wonderful.
Thank you! ✨
How versatile! Very funky. 🖤💛🤍
I am so making myself one of these! Do you think you could test us how much fabric a layer took?
It depends on how wide the fabric is really! I use wide width (50-60 inch wide) fabrics, so this pattern is only around 1.5 yards a layer for me!
@@TheClosetHistorian thanks!
I've never heard it called "thread chicken" before, but that's *absolutely* what it is!
Lovely as always! Oh! I found an awesome designer! Iris van Herpen! OMG such glorious designs and use of technology and organics! Made me funny enough think of you for some odd reason haha Maybe it's the creativity :P Looking forward to more Blade Runner/Cyberpunk goodness!
Now I'm thinking I need to add a hood to my modified American Duchess cape. I'm still in the mock up phase, so it's definitely not too late. But would a hood take away too much from the Edwardian-ness? I could also just make a coordinating hood more like you've done here. I am conflicted lol
On case you're wondering how I'm modifying the AD cape: I needed to size up the pattern anyway, I didn't like how you could see whatever is worn under the cape at the sides, and I wanted to get rid of the gaping so many have encountered. I used my bodice block to redraft the wrap portion and create an extension so the front will attach to the back, basically along the back princess seam. This would not have been possible without your tutorials and instruction, Bianca. Thank you! I'll let you know how it turns out.
I mean hoods have been part of historic dress since the beginning, so I don't think a hood would un-historic-ify anything! Surely our Edwardian ancestors loved a good hood as well ✨
I love the black/neon combo a lot! and the double black combo is also so versatile! Love! Great for when you don't want to have a hat hair day >_
Thank you! Very good for looking mysterious instead of having a bad hair day 😅🤣
Oh wow, I use the same sewing machine (99K) just a different year.
Mine had the simple deco front plate too, I just switched it out for the filigree (which I received as a lovely gift!) 😅✨
I really like watching your process. Your videos are always so well filmed...filmed?...recorded.
Thank you Dannie!
Another great make! I wonder if you could use one of your bug broachs to pin one side of the floopy tails on the shoulder?
Thank you! I'm sure a bug would do nicely yes 🐞
“Scarf Thing you are amazing…”
Definitely love this hood! I might feel brave enough to try this tutorial of yours soon! But I was wondering if you could link where you got your clear ruler that flexes? I found one on amazon that was in metric and not imperial. I can't seem to find one that's not in a multi-pack with other sizes I don't want or need.
Thank you Mary! The ruler can be found here atlaslevy.com/C-THRU-18-GRAPH-BEVELED-RULER-8THS_p_82.html or here www.michaels.com/default/10064564.html?
This is a great pattern. It would be not easy to photograph, but one could use neon yellow for road safety... and lined with anti-paparazzi fabric for privacy?
I may need to see about this one, as I need lots of work to get the AD 1910 cape to fit the huge tracts of land, and it does not have a hood.
Thank you! Definitely a road safety accessory ✨
Oooooh I love it crossed in the front and tied behind your back! How do you think it would work with fleece? Too thick?
Thank you! I think with a single layer of fleece it would be fine, but two might begin to get a bit intense yes 😅
I’m not sure if it was stated but approximately how much fabric does it take? I’m thinking maybe a yard of 60 inch fabric?
I think I’m gonna actually give this a try and add devil horns
Oh thank f*ck. A creator who gives clear instructions without a novel that's made a hood (I need a hooded caplet for my Halloween costume)
I have such a hard time lining things. So, when you make a lining, is it the exact same pattern as the outer part of the garment?
I use the exact same pattern yes! It's important to cut things out on the same grainline too, becuase if you say cut the outside on the straight grain and the lining on the bias, the lining would stretch a lot more and be hard to fit in properly!
VERY weird question but I am thinking about making a hood with ears. .and thinking about making a hood has a seam 90 degrees from your inserted band. How would you go about that? Could it work? That way I could get the ears into that seam instead.
I know it is possible but I have never tried it myself! I would be shocked if there were not "ear hood pattern" on pinterest 😅🧵
Hi, I just finished watching you create these four (?) hoods. Oh my goodness my memory is fading fast tonight. My apologies for that. Anyway I didn't com on here to complain about my being up for so long without sleep that my memory is going.
I came on here to ask about your rayon bias seam binding (edge binding?). The thing you use on your best top line sewing.I'm sure it's a weakness in me but I can't seem to find anything like that in EU or the other countries that share free movement of goods with EU. I can't even find it if I call it viscose bias binding. For the reader that don't know that might not know, the type of fabric that's called Rayon in the US and perhaps throughout The Americas, is called Viscose in Europe. Well except those that aren't called Tencell or Ecovero. Both of those two has much less impact on the environment if anyone is interested. It's basically the same production method and they are all made out of cellulose, but both Tencel and Ecovero are mad within a closed system where they don't pollute the water in the same way as regular viscose/rayon do and Ecovero material only come from woods maintained under the FSC, the Forest Stewardship Council
I've been looking all over the places where I might find it over here, mostly for tax reasons (I won't have to pay sales tax or VAT twice if I can find them here). The shipping costs are also quite ridicules from some places (HHrrmmMOODShhhrrrmmmforinstance) where I would have to pay 200% of the product price, with shipping and taxes added. I would also have to pay sales tax a second time and custom fees on top of that. We will really have to be motivated to be doing that. We can also buy from JoAnn these days, but with the same ridiculous shipping and handling, sales tax and customs fees.
Have you or anyone seen where these rare, almost mythological things, can be found without having to pay and arm and a leg from the US, but here in Europe, or somewhere else without this shipping and handling nonsense, please?
I love the hood-shawl-poncho-collar thing. I fell the hardest for the on made of double gauze. It looked very cosy. Yours, Ann
I’m back to comment on your makeup again! Do you have a beauty channel? If not I’ll have to freeze frame while I try to get this look!
Thank you! I don't have a video for this look sadly 😅✨
Hoods as their own clothing item need to come back in fashion.
