Easter 2: The Hood Top



While I am getting bored to making french seam, I was also making the Hood Top. It is the easiest piece in my 2 outfits and because it does not make me hustle.
For some reason, I did not put lining for this 'top'. Usually, when we use wool, we need to put lining because the rough texture. However, I wanted it not to be like outerwear, even it is big and warm, somehow, be just a top. And I thought this design would not suit to put lining. I wanted to show the skill for hiding all seam allowance nicely.  (Do not worry, you can see my lining skill in the Fire Feather Coat.)  I also do not like to use overlock machine, especially, if the module requires high skill for hand sawing. In my opinion, overlock makes the garment looks high-street level (Of course, product line designs have to use it though!).
Anyway, the aim for this top is to get used to draping and hide seam allowance cleverly.


A short process from the alteration to finishing the garment is here.
