How To Put Aglets On Hoodie

Hi friends! Today, just in fourth dimension for Halloween, nosotros're talking about how to put ears on to any hoodie!

Quick note on fabric choice: I'd utilize something fairly stable for this hack - I used some awesome Cotton wool Lycra from Smoogie for mine. You'll want the stability to help back up the shape and weight of your ears!

Whenever doing a hack, I trace my design pieces so I'm not altering the original. This also comes in handy because we will only use the altered pieces for the outer hood, and the lining will be your original piece.

Start matter we need to do is cut a band from the front edge of our hood, then there is a seam to insert our ears into.I am using the Exist Creative hoodie, but this will work with any hood. I measured one.5 inches in from the edge, and cut downwardly that line. Before You lot Cut - make certain to write along the edge that you demand to add seam allowance! Since we're calculation a seam, add 1/4" to each piece along that cut line.

Cut 2 of each mirrored, one for the left and right sides of your hood. For the hood lining, you'll utilize the original, un-contradistinct hood blueprint piece.

Next, make up what shape yous would similar to utilize for your ears. If you desire to a bear or whatsoever number of critters, you can create a elongated half circle, though I decided (because we are getting shut to Halloween,) to utilize fiddling horns for mine. I sketched out some horns, and then cut out around my piece an extra .25 inches for seam assart. You will demand to cut four of your earpiece, a front and back for each side. I also cut batting to give my horns a bit of volume.

Sandwich your design with your batting on ane of the outsides, then that when you sew it all together and flip it inside, the batting will exist in the center. Sew around, leaving the bottom border open, and leaving nigh half of an inch on each side united nations-sewn (nosotros'll flip this open later and press). Make certain that you dorsum run up! Trim the excess batting, and turn right side out.

For the left side of your hood, pin the two pieces you lot created together. Then, marked down from the acme 1.5 inches, or however far out you lot would like your ears to sit. This will also depend on how large of a size you are making your hoodie, my distance is pretty small considering I'm using an 18 calendar month size. insert your ears, and pin or clip well. So this seem using a quarter inch seam allowance on your sewing machine. You don't want to search information technology, because we will flip the seam allowance out words to stabilize the ears adjacent.

Plough your hood wrong side up, and press the seam allowance open. Yous will now stitch the seam allowance of the ears to each side, which will help your ears stand up up.

I used a stitch-in-the-ditch pes to make sure I stayed fairly shut to the edge of the seam allowance. Repeat this procedure for the other side of the hood.

From here on out, nosotros volition assemble our hoodie as normal! You will put the outer hood that nosotros created right sides together with your regular lining piece, and then around the front end edge. Make sure to proceed those cute ears out of the mode when you lot are attaching everything!

In one case the residuum of your hoodie is assembled per the pattern you are using, you lot're done!

Congratulations, you have a super cute hoodie with the ears of whatsoever you can imagine! If you are at a loss for your shapes, you can e'er notice a bunch on Google. There are tons of free critter patterns for felt animals out there, and so I'm sure you can find any beast or creature you similar.
