The hood should be folded around the shirt, with the outside of the hood facing the outside of the shirt. The front edges of the neckhole of the top have been marked with yellow and pink dots and the corresponding spots on the hood are marked as well. Mark the back center of the neckhole of the top (green dot). mark the center of the bottom of the hood (green dot). Leave that edge open so you can turn the pieces right side out, and then baste along the neckline before sewing the hood to your shirt. Don’t sew the “neckline” edge of the hood and lining together. Then sew the lining to the hood, right sides together. Cut two pieces of lining fabric the same shape as your hood. You can hem the edge or trim it with contrasting fabric or lace. Your hood pieces should be sewn together before you start, and the edges finished. You may need to alter the hood to fit the top you want to sew it to- just remember that the bottom edge of the hood should be the same length as the measurement around the neck hole. If you are making your own pattern on the fly, I’d suggest finding a hoodie and tracing the hood, making sure to add a seam allowance. You can use this method for making a hooded shirt from scratch or for reconstructing an existing shirt.
