Buying a hoodie turns out to be mighty expensive. What if you can turn any tshirt of yours into a hoodie by making this hood with scraps you have in your fabric stash and stitch it to your clothes. Instant Hoodie – yay.If you want a full on hooded scarf with pockets checkout this tutorial. 

Make the pattern first- mark it directly on the fabric 

When cutting the fabric, mark the pattern on folded fabric so that you get mirror images. If you are not , and If you are marking the pieces individually do remember to mark the pattern left and right.

Step 3.

Keep the outer fabric an lining hoods right sides together. I have kept outer hood right side out inside the  lining hood which is wrong side out. Stitch them together along the front and bottom edge leaving a 2 inch opening
