How to mark the lining on the hood?

2️. Measure 1 cm (3/8”) to the right to mark the edge of the hood lining.
How to attach the lining to the hood?
1️. Stitch the lining and hood pieces in pairs along the center edge.
2️. Match the front edges of the hood and lining right sides together. Pin and stitch the lining to the hood along the edge.
3️. Fold the seam allowances towards the lining and understitch at 2 mm from the seam. Mark the hemline on the right side of the hood. Fold the hem allowance to the wrong side of the hood along the marked line, hand-baste, and press in place.
4️. Next, adjust the lining to fit the smaller size of the inside of the hood by following the easy tips:
- Smooth out the lining, remove the extra volume by pleating the lining along the center seam, and pin in place.

5️. Smooth out the lining inside the hood, align the neckline edges. Trim the excess lining along the neckline edge.
