The only DIY Leather Hood on the net
I have searched high and low for instruction to make a full leather hood without success. Really, I looked once in a while for a couple of weeks. Then I turned to my BDSM Toys Craft Corner group on Fetlife for help. Again, had some great suggestions but no one had A to Z instructions.
.
Well I gave it a shot with the ideas I had and now I will tell you how I did it. Hopefully many of you can benefit from it as well. It really helps if you know a bit about sewing. You will have to figure some thing out for yourself.
.
Now keep in mind that these instructions are to make a CUSTOM FITTED HOOD for the person who will wear it…and probably no one else. I tried this hood on others without success. Or you may make one and find you Cinderella sub for a glass slipper BDSM substitute lol.
.
1. Get some saran-wrap, tape, and rounded-edge scissors.
.
2. Time to mummify your head. Wrap your head up with saran-wrap completely. Make sure you have 2 layers when all done. Along the way make whole for you to breathe (its not a breath play session, you are making something here) and you can also cut out the eyes to see what you are doing.
.
3. Get your tape out and tape your head completely up everywhere. Cover all the saran-wrap. Again make holes to breathe.
.
4. Make one cut long enough to remove the hood. Tape the cut up. So now you end up (see pics below) with the 3D shape of your head.

5. Cut it into 3 pieces as show below. You will have a long rectangle (side and top of head), the front and the back. It won’t be flat. So make slits in the patterns to get a flat piece (see PINK arrows). Now you have a basic flat pattern to use.
.
6. Cut a rectangle that is about 4-5 inches wide and the length of the back of your hood. This will be the flap at the back.
7. Place your pattern on your leather and draw out our shapes.
.
8. Add a seam allowance, about 1/2 in everywhere, even on the slits…except on the big back closure slit. Add a few inches in length to the rectangle (mine was to short and I had to add a piece). Cut out your pieces and slits.
.
9. Star sewing up all your slits…except on the big back closure slit.
.
10. Sew the flap to the inside of the back piece (see blue lines above)
.
11. Sew your 3 pieces back together. For the back closure just fold back about 1/2 in and sew it down for a clean edge. The neck part may be a bit uneven so cut around it to make a straight line. I added a band of black leather for trim, just folded in half for a clean finish.
.
12. Cut out mouth, nose (a triangle) and eyes. For the mouth and eyes make tiny slits and fold back to sew the edge clean. The nose you need to add a bigger triangle sew into the two top triangle lines….cause if you just make a little hole your nose will be squashed inside. Anyways that is what I did.
.
Now you have the basic hood sewn up.

13. Time to make the back closure. I punched small holes every 1 inch and then attached little eyelets. Lace with a shoe lace.
.
14. If desired, make separate blindfold and mouth piece and add snaps so you can attach them to the hood for a sensory deprivation experience.
.
Here are pics of the finished hood

This is wonderful. How long did it take to make it?

Thanks GarthVeader. Not too long, you could do it in an intensive 2-5 hour session…depending on your pattern and sewing skills.
