Update on the Hood Pattern

Thank you to the many of you who voiced an interest in having my hood pattern available.

I am focusing this week on getting the text, illustrations and pattern pieces in a publishable state. My goal is to have it available for those who will want to make a hood for this winter. Fingers crossed there since this is both a matter of preparation and funds for publication.

I would also like to pull together the hood workshop some of us discussed.

For the published pattern, here is what I have in mind:

Pattern pieces for an adult hood in two depths (I was going to include the child’s hood but am having difficulty fitting that.)
Directions that are short and easy to understand using a combination of illustations and photos, including information on quilting.
An explanation of this type of quilted hood along with observations of extant hoods.
Tips on a successful hood in terms of materials and techniques.
Passages from Godey’s, Peterson’s, etc regarding quilted hoods and bonnets.
Ideas for how to trim your hood based on originals and extant hoods.
I’m hoping for a price point between $10 and $15, which will be based on what my print shop can do for me. (they are great.)
