One would think with all the other hoods I’ve been making, I would have made one for myself before now. Nope. Not ’til now.
My hood is a chocolate silk taffeta purchased last year. The lining is this great red polished cotton with paisley motifs. It is quilted with a simple double line and curved chain, which I’m sure has a real name in the quilting world. The brim is trimmed with a wonderfully soft mink. (Huge Thanks to Gail for the lining and fur)
Here is the hood pre-fur. You can see the quilting here a bit better. This vertical diagonal is achieved when the quilting runs directly across the crown. A shallower, more horizontal angle is achieved with quilting directly front to back.
Here is a look at the great lining fabric. The quilting looks really great against this red. One thing I did learn though – my machine really hates polished cotton. It just doesn’t like to move it along with the feet, even with the walking foot. Polished cotton will be hand-quilted from now on.
If there is a video at the end of this post, it is an advertisement. My apologies for the inconvenience.

Beautiful!
That is simply the coolest hood! Love the silk, love the paisley, love the fur. Thanks for sharing it.
