Original ideas for new patterns of children's hood. We make together a practical and quality hood for outerwear. Instruction and photo
We present to your attention an article thatwill tell you how to sew a pattern for a children's hood correctly and efficiently. This is a very beautiful and practical element of outerwear, which is created specifically to protect you from cold winds, snow and other nasty weather. It can be conveniently fastened to the neck of the jacket using buttons, a zipper, snaps, or simply sewn into the clothes. You can also make a one-piece jacket with a hood. Here are just a few convenient options for cutting a hood for a child. In order to correctly make a hood, you need to accurately measure the length of the neck of the product, which we will designate as Z. To construct a hood, you need to know the length of the neck of the product (Z), which is equal to the sum of the length of the back neck, Lтсп, and the length of the front neck, Lтп. In the example shown, our parameters are as follows: Z = Lтсп + Lтп = 9 + 12 = 21 centimeters. Another measurement that we need to make is the hood height parameter. We designate it as Вк. This measurement should be taken from the base of the neck, passing on the right through the highest point of the head, straight to the base of the neck on the left, and then divide the value in half. For our parameters, we get: Bk = 66/2 = 33 centimeters. Also, do not forget about the allowance for a loose fit of the hood. It is taken both by height and by width. Its size depends on the type of model that you will be cutting.Let's consider the option of a set-in hood withoutdarts and with a dart. After all the necessary measurements have been taken and calculated, we will proceed directly to creating the hood. Both the set-in and the fastened ones are built according to the same scheme. To begin with, we will build a right angle, the apex of which is at point O. From our point, we draw a line for sewing the hood vertically upwards.We mark a new point K.The length of our segment OK will be from two to five centimeters. Then from point K we will draw a horizontal line to the right, its length is the value of the offset of the middle line of our hood from the vertical. We will put point K1. The length of KK1 is no more than two centimeters.From point K1 along the horizontal O we make a notchradius, the length of which is equal to the width of the hood along the line of the set. There we put a new point K2. The length of the segment K1K2 is equal to the sum of Z and B, we get: 21 + 2 = 23 centimeters. B is the dart solution, it is two centimeters. It is necessary to create a more rounded shape. Up from point K we draw a vertical and adjust the height of the hood. This will be point K3. The length of KK3 is equal to the sum of Bk and an allowance for free fit along the height of the hood. Its value varies from one to ten centimeters or depending on the type of model. In our case, we get 33 + 5 = 38 centimeters. Next, from point K3, we draw a horizontal to the right, and on it we mark the width of the hood from above. Mark point K4. The length of K3K4 will be equal to K1K2 plus Psh, an allowance for free fit along the width of the hood from above. Its length can be from zero to five centimeters, also depending on the model. In our example it will be 23 + 3 = 26 centimeters.Let's draw a straight line from point K4 to point K2.Down from point K4 on line K2K4 we measure the value of the hood bevel from the top. We put a new point K41. The length of the segment K4K41 will be from zero to four centimeters. We draw a bisector for the angle KK3K4. On it it is necessary to mark point K3 at a distance from three and a half to five centimeters. In this place we put point K31. We connect points K1, K31 and K41 with a smooth line. This will be the line of the middle of the hood. The front side of the product is designed according to the presented pattern. To correctly design the line of sewing the hood, it is necessary to connect points K1 and K2 with a straight line. In the middle of the resulting segment, you need to put point K5. Through the new point K5 up draw a perpendicular to the line K1K2. On it we mark the value of the deflection of the sewing line. We mark point K6. The distance between K5 and K6 is from one to one and a half centimeters. The sewing line of our hood is formed through points K1, K6 and K2 with a smooth line. If our model provides for a dart, then from point K6 you need to continue line K5K6 upwards at a distance equal to the length of the dart. There we put point K8. The segment K6K8 is from six to eleven centimeters. In both directions from point K6 along the sewing line we draw segments equal to half the dart solution. We put new points K6’ and K6’’. After that, we connect these points with point K8. That's it. This version of the hood is ready. The next model we will consider is a helmet hood. The main feature of such a hood is that a fastener is added to it. The construction is almost identical to the previous pattern, which was described in detail above.To build a clasp, you need to go up frompoint K2, set aside the height of the hood projection for the fastener. There we will put point K21. The length of the segment K2K21 varies from two and a half to seven and a half centimeters. From point K2 to the right, set aside a horizontal segment, which is equal to the width of the side, the value from the drawing of the shelf. We mark point K10. Then we design the projection for the fastener according to the model. The upper part of the front line of our model of the hood-helmet can be designed with a corner.That's all.This model of the hood is also constructed. Now let's move on to the last model of our hood, it will be a model with a central insert. This type of hood is very common in most outerwear. It consists of three parts, two of which are side, and one central piece. Let's consider how you can calculate the details for cutting the hood. After you have finished constructing the set-in hood (this is our first pattern), draw lines on the drawing for sewing on the central part. To do this, you need to draw a line from points K1, K41 and K31 for sewing on the central part along the model. In our case, it is equal to four centimeters. The line for sewing on the central part is formed by a smooth line running parallel to the line K1K31K41. Our new line passes through points K1", K31" and K41". To get the central part of the hood, you need to measure a segment from point K41 to K41". We increase the obtained distance by two times. Now we need to measure the length of our curved line K1 "K31" K41. When measuring, place the tape measure on its edge.Let's move on to constructing a rectangle.The short side will be equal to: 4*2 = 8 centimeters. The long side is equal to the length of the curved line K1 "K31" K41. To make the seam that connects the central part with the two side parts look neater, the central part should be cut out on a bias thread, the angle is 45⁰. It is noteworthy that this construction of the hood is suitable for both children's clothing and men's and women's models.You can decorate the front line with furtrim, you can also choose other decorative elements. To further decorate our hood, you can sew on additional "ears", "tails" and other original decorations. That's all. The third model of the hood is ready. Each of them will perfectly protect the child from bad weather, so you can safely choose any pattern. Good luck.
