Step 3The Cowl
Or hood...or helmet...or whatever you want to call it! In our first draft, we made the cowl out of the extra t-shirt we bought. After mis-placing the eye- and ear-holes, we scrapped it and went with the vinyl, which was difficult to sew, but I think it was a better-looking choice in the end.
Our cowl consisted of a long rectangle for the middle and two side pieces that started in a semi-circle then transitioned into flaps that cover the neck. I can't really give much more exact instructions, and I'll let the pattern pieces speak for themselves. Measurements will vary according to the head size of your model.
Once the pieces are cut, pinned, and sewn, (carefully) cut the eye- and ear-holes. Carefully check your sizes and spacing. Cut the "A" out of white vinyl and superglue it to the cowl. I cut the little wings out of white vinyl and sewed them inside out by hand then turned them right side out and stuffed them with poly filling. I sewed them to the hood as well.
We used velcro inside the cowl to keep the flaps together.
