Quilted Hood, Plaid & Paisley

Wine/blue/purple plaid quilted wool hood, faced and bound with calico (green and pink paisley stripe).
Paisley & Plaid!


Third hood. This time with quilted perpendicular to the brim--and also a plaid wool outer fabric and busy striped lining. Yes, that is the quilted petticoat fabric used in the lining, and the shawl twill wool for the exterior. The inner ties are narrow-hemmed calico (the green paisely stripe).  As noted in the shawl post, I didn't like the bulk that hemming the wool ties produced; instead, I used a torn edge, which appears stable. This would have been a good place for cotton ties on the outside, but I thought the overall effect was too busy.
