Hi everyone. i joined this forum hoping to gain a little insight on how to master this hood making business. I'm a knitter so sewing with a machine is a new experience for me. This is my first project. I chose a simple cloak nothing to hard right? wrong... well, the cloak has gone very well. the only snag i found was the pattern's author didn't mention anything about having mirrored pieces, he wanted them all identical. well, needless to say, on fabric with a right and wrong side that didn't work out as well as i had hoped but that is all fixed and coped with. my next hurdle seems to be the hood. i followed his directions to a t but i really dont understand how this hood could possibly work. really, it's a silly shape for a hood. I was hoping to find some wonderful soul who put a pattern up for a hood online but alas i'm at a loss. I would much prefer a hood that doesn't end at a point on the top of my head, making me look like a runaway member of the clan. something a little more girly would be wonderful. If anyone has any suggestions or links that could help me in the least i would be ever so grateful.
