THE HOOD
LESSON NO
To begin the hood, we make use of the front and back of a box coat or cape. To begin, mark out the back neck and shoulder from A, B, C and D Now connect the front shoulder seam at E and F and C and D and mark out the front neck from E to K. as shown on diagram number I. Divide the front neck from K to E. which makes I and from I to J is 1 inch. Now curve from J to the width of shoulder at F and D to G. Now make the length of this hood from A to B 12 inches the same is from B to G and square out the shoulder line from E, C, F and D out to H opposite G. Then finish the curve from J and F down to G and from G to L is ½ of G to B. Make the round curve from L to H: this part appears at the neck part when the hood is all folded up, as shown on diagram 2. between A and Land finishing at H. After completing this hood, see diagram No. 2.
When the hood is all cut out it is followed up as shown on the diagram, from A to B is the length in back or from the neck down on the back, which makes a point at B, fold up L by a brake from B to H which will bring the point to the center back at B, as shown on the diagram The connection of the neck part is from A, I and J . The curved line from J to H lays over the shoulder when A to I is buttoned to the neck part of this hood.
To cut this hood on cloth, place the bottom part of the hood from B to L on the fold of the goods so as not to have the seam shown when the hood is folded up as shown on diagram 2 from B to L. This completes the hood.
