A Velvet Hood

This is likely the last hood for a bit. I sorta hit a wall working on it the last few days.

When the velvet arrived, I knew it wanted to be a hood. It is an incredibly soft silk and rayon blend. (It also turned out to be a nightmare to cut because it is so slippery and has such a soft drape.) The lining is brown polished cotton. Inside, I added two layers of wool for warmth and a layer of cotton to firm up the body. The ties are a vintage silk/rayon single faced satin.
