Assembling the three parts of the hood was by comparison a simple task. I cut the hood shape out and over stitched the fabric to stop it fraying. The seam at the crown involved nothing more complex than just joining with a simple hemming stitch. The pointed pixie like peak to the hood is not I feel contrived as a fashion feature but it is made as a result of making a straight seam at the crown. I was stuck by the crudity of the sewing on the original garment. The hem that framed the face was a rudimentary and shabbily sewn over stitch. The skills of the hood maker appeared to be worlds apart from the maker of the cloth and the broad tablet woven band. The narrow band appeared to have been specifically made to trim the cut edge of the woven hood fabric.

The Broad band with the fringe however was clearly taken off another garment. This is evident because it was not quite long enough to circumnavigate the entire length of the narrow tablet band that was attached to the woven cloth. There was a 20 cm shortfall which the hood maker disguised by wrapping the fringed band round the hood hem twice placing the 20 cm single band expanse at the centre back. This would make it barely noticeable to the wearer of the hood itself. The yarn used in the sewing was a medium thickness two ply brown yarn used in the tablet weft and fringe.
