Description

Sometimes our little ninjas need a hood to help support their sleepy heads, for shade, or to lessen distractions when nursing. Just snap this hood right onto your Tula Free to Grow (FTG) baby carrier. You can make this hood with snaps on trap, or with elastic loop sides.

This pattern includes three hood piecing options, for color blocking or adding animal ears. Each pattern also has an ear location mark, to help you get those cute ears in just the right place. Some of the product photos include a hood with elephant war. 

Snap straps can be made from fabric using the included pattern pieces or from just ribbon or webbing. For elastic sides, you will need to add a reach straps with snaps on them or add a Cord Keeper (like on the original Tula) to the shoulder webbing. The FTG Tula does not use standard KAM snaps, You can order these special snaps and set with a size 24 KamSnap/Babyville Snap setter.

Hoods are made of two layers and are reversible. You can pick some great fabrics that match or coordinate with your carrier, or just fun fabrics you love. Flannel or fleece will make a warmer winter hood. Mesh, like Koolnit (which I sell on Etsy), makes a great summer hood. You can even line it with satin to keep your little ninja’s curls from getting mussed.

As your little ninja keep growing, so can this hood. The back of all hood styles has markings for optional height adjustment snaps. These are particularly useful if using straps instead of elastic sides. These work just like a snap-down diaper rise. Snap it all the way down for newborn ninjas. The shortest setting will keep the bulk of the fabric out of the way when their head low. As they grow and fill out the hood, you can adjust the snaps: short, medium, and full height.

This hood pattern is reversible. Most test sewers rate this as a confident beginner pattern. Every pattern your buy includes support from the Ninja. I’m here to help. Also visit Fabric Ninja Sewing Circle on Facebook
