Step 6Assemble the hood
Lay out the two pieces of the hood and mark where the eyes will be. Now, if you made your own eyes, they will not be washable, so we will address that now. If you went with safety eyes or buttons then skip the next part.
Mark where the eyes will go on each part of the hood and the corresponding lining pieces. On the back side, fuse a piece of interfacing directly behind the spot where the eyes should go. Now cut out four rectangles of self fabric and two of lining, measuring 3" x 4" and fuse interfacing to each piece.
On outside of hood section, lay one piece of interfaced fleece on top of the marking for the eye, and pin it on, fleece sides together. Stitch along the marking creating a bound buttonhole large enough for the eye to fit through. Slash the center of the stitched outlined rectangle, and push the fabric through to the backside. Topstitch around the buttonhole.
With right sides together sew the two halves of the hood together, then trim the seam allowance and clip the curves as necessary. Prepare the lining the same as the outer layer.
Now take the remaining fleece and lining rectangles and sew them together making sturdy bases for the eyes to be sewn onto. Press.
Sew the eyes onto the bases securely.
Now, with the eyes buttoned on, cut a half circle of green fleece to use for the eyelid. Pin in on in position over the eye and mark around wheere the stitching will go. (see the 13th picture below.)
Remove the eye and stitch the eyelid on, trim. Repeat for the other side.
