- Today's hot new medieval trend: short hoods! Very sexy, very in style right now! Clearly the 1400's are coming back in fashion :D
This is a quick little hood that buttons up the front, and has extra length in the brim to create a decorative fold back with the contrasting lining.

I hope you guys loved my fun liripiped hood! A quick note: I didn't talk much about seam allowance in this video, I just vaguely said to measure loosely, so if you do end up trying to make your own hood, I suggest to add an inch to every measurement for seam allowance, and to always make a mockup!
When measuring the circumference of your face, open your jaw wide. This way you'll be certain that your measurements allow for breathing, talking and yawning comfortably in your hood. I personally find it safer than eyeballing the addition of an inch or two.
Similarly, I'd also suggest at least wearing a beanie when measuring the crown of your head, or your hair up if it's thick, or anything that you might be wearing under the hood that would add extra bulk to your head.
Great tips, thanks for sharing!
If you put a pin horizontally across the end of your button hole, when you use the seam ripper the pin will help stop you over shooting and making a too larger hole! Warning, Liripiped hoods not to be worn indoors if a cat is present.
My hair is down to my mid-calves. I trained my cats to not attack my braids or loose hair by sounding like I got hurt whenever a cat touched my hair roughly. They're 100% chill around my hair now, cats are playful, but not out to hurt us :P
The same principle could apply with a liripipe. If it's attacked, act like that hurt. The cat will drop it. Praise praise praise praise. It won't take much time for them to learn.
Both of my cats learned "biting this hurts her" within a week. These same cats go behind my blinds whether I want them to or not, it's not like they're just magically obedient cats. Cats just don't play to hurt humans :)
I like how you are always honest when something doesn't turn out quite right or if you make a mistake. It is so refreshing
I love your channel and can't understand why you don't have more subscribers. I am quite experienced in historical sewing (especially late 14th century) and still enjoy your videos (even though I don't "need" tutorials). They are perfect as sewing company, and it would be great if you could do some kind of more "Vlog-sewing video" a bit longer than these shorter tutorials. Keep up your great work. Nice to see a medieval sewing channel (I have mostly found channels focusing on 18th century and onwards).
Josephine, I am glad you love my channel! ❤️ I would love to do a longer vlog chat, maybe one of these weeks when I am working on a longer tutorial :)
I'd also be keen for vlogs!
Coming back? YES!
This is cute. Why couldn't one wear this today?
I would if I could make one! Would be awesome in winter or rainy weather.
But the men's hood is enough challenge for me atm, it being my first project ever. XD
One absolutely could.
Best hood video on YT. Thanks 🤗🤗
Thank you Morgan! I just spent a weekend sewing by hand my own hood and I loved it. I never liked sewing by machine and I thought that hand sewing won't be my thing. Turns out I am wrong. I love my hood, it still needs buttons, but it's so great and warm that I'm contemplating wearing it in the cold wintery days here in UK :D.
One of my favorites! ❤️ MORGAN
i love this! I might have to make one out of cozy winter fabrics- a hat and scarf in one! perfect for the frigid northeastern winters
You were prophetic. The hoods will make a come back. Probably without the tail.
I am looking for types of snug hair covers, to keep my hair out of the germy air. (yes, i know i won't get diseased if the virus gets on my hair, but I still want it covered.)
Have been think about making one of these for a while now but was unsure just how to draft and sew one. This was a grate help thank you.
I love how enthusiastic you are in your videos :) I plan on making a hood as soon as I can find the stupid power cable to my sewing machine.
Button hole advice..... awesome! Thanks! Love your vids!
Excellent! This is the solution to not being able to wear a winter hat down over my ears when my hair is tied back.
Thank you so much for this video, I just finished my Hood after about a week of hand sewing after work. Its so cozy!
What a fun project. Something I will definitely try!! Thank you for sharing.
I really love watching your progress videos, especially the metal casting ones! it's such a cool thing to see and I love all the historical goodness.
I love working with pewter, glad you are enjoying the videos! :D
That might be one of my first projects getting back into the more complicated stuff after i practice my seams a bit more and get better materials
Nice looks like a fun and functionally awesome newbie sewing project
Thank you so much for this video! I know it's a couple of years old, but it's exactly what I needed for a costume project now.
Weren't long liripipes essentially a form of conspicuous consumption? Especially if the hood was made of a fine fabric and/or dyed in a rich colour.
I just found your channel and love it!! Pro tip: I found when turning in narrow strips of fabric, using a dowel rod makes the process so much faster and easier, and you can get a nice point if need be.
Thank you for the tip!
Ao cute! I just finished a similar hood from a pattern someone gave me years ago and couldn't figure out how to secure the hood onto my body but ...Buttons...now I get it! I'm going to make another to go with my 14th century gown. Maybe a new dress too :)
I have messed up so many times but im determined to do right by my sewing
Thank you so much for this awesome video! Just finished mine and it is so lovely.
It's such a pretty colour!
heaven, I thought it might make a good contrast with my red dress! 😄
Any day now... I'm so ready! lol
So cute project.
So cute! I am excited to make one!
I've been working on a 19th century style, but I think I like the simplicity of the Medieval period. The Victorian Era has SO many layers, lol.
Very cute!
I have a corchet hood like this! I didn't know what the like... long bit was called hahaha! I added a pom pom on the end of it :-P
Hi Morgan, I was looking for directions just like this. I just want to have one. Thank you for sharing. Hugs, Julie 🥰
I am currently making a version of this out of a red wool blend for Halloween this year ^^
this is so cool i really want to try and make it
Very cute your husband's outfit you made is quite stunning
Love this hood...Thank you
Tried making this, and the shoulders were a big problem. I should have measured them as well and made sure they fit sooner in the flare than they did. I'll definitely be trying this again, so thank you for helping me make less mistakes :)
It’s December 2021 and this hood is popular again.
I am doing my best to make my husband and my outfits for the ren faire in a couple months, if there is time, I would love to make one, maybe out of felt
I just found your channel and i can't believe that i didn't earlier, i love it! I usually do 13th century but it is so inspiring to watch your vids i might just start expanding now! Could you make a video on that white "under cap" that you wear under the hood, the one that "holds the hair in place" if you you know what i mean! Thanks, keep up the good work!
Sure thing! I have been meaning to make a new one for a while anyways, I will make sure to film while I make it!
I am so very impressed by your pewter buttons! I love the casually tossed off "Buttons I made..." I am wondering if you have thought about blanket stitches verses buttonhole stitches? The buttonhole is a bit sturdier, but perhaps (I wouldn't know myself ; ) not as correct?
You inspired me to try making this (and a kirtle)!!!!! It has turned out lovely so far but I think I may have made a tactical error when drafting and I can't get the bottom to look even sort of round (or oblong). Do you have any tips on how to fix this (I tried just winging it with the scissors on my mockup and I have regrets though that might be the way to go)?
This is very interesting! I tried to make a partlet (spelling ok?) And it came out badly. Do you have a tutorial on partlets?
Was there a function to the lierpipe? Or was it just a fashion choice?
I would love for you to make a under smock/shift! It's a fairly basic under garments for most of medieval Europe I see multiple ways of making & I'm kinda intimidated !
I'll see what I can do!
I wnat to try this and i even have some fabric i think ...
I would like to know how to make a proper partlet.
I'm trying to make this during the quarantine but I'm not sure how you've sewn the first lot of internal seams. I've never made anything before! Please do you have any more details?
Your videos have so inspired me to start some 14th century projects! Where do you get your fabrics? I haven't found a good source for wool.
I know it might not be very helpful for you, but I get most of my wool at thrift stores, or in person at medieval faires. If I am feeling lucky, sometimes I'll haunt ebay for a few weeks, especially if I am trying to find some wool in a particular color. If I am buying linen, I pretty much exclusively get it from fabrics-store.com
Good luck! Link me @morgandonner on Instagram once you've started sewing, I'd love to see pictures!
Could you give some suggestions for the materials to use for your projects. Absolute beginner here, needs all the help you can give. Love your work!
I used a bit of wool and linen I had on hand, but I would suggest practicing at first with whatever fabric you can get! If you have any old bed-linens you don't want, the fabric from those can be a great way to get mockup, and testing the construction method.
Can this style of hood also be worn as a chaperon?
Do you ever have problems with loose seams?
This is adorable! Is there an Italian 1500s version?
I wish! Italian ladies sure did love their veils, but I can't recall seeing much in the way of hoods :/ I do sort of wish there was an Italian version of the hood evolution that happened in England, where it eventually became the gable hood, so neat!
Can you do a video on making the pewter buttons?
Ooo, I'll have to find my button mold, but sure thing!
Would a similar design be used to make a fitted wimple out of linen? I confess to cheating and using a cotton Jersey because of the stretch but would really like to make a more authentic design to wear under the veil. Needs to be fitted and in one piece and not the head band/straight linen piece combination that is often shown.
Ooo, that sounds tricky! I have only worn wimples a few times, but when I did, I had fairly good success with a circular veil, folded in half across the bias (so it stretched around my face/neck). But that is not really much different than the "headband/straight linen piece combination", so it's probably not what you are looking for.
You could use a similar design as the hood for a wimple, but I don't think that you would be able to avoid the seam down the center front of the neck. If you don't mind the visible seam, then yes, give it a try!
Hi Morgan, sorry to respond to a 2 year old video. But I was wondering, if you ever make a similar hood again(or if they exist, an even more basic feminine one?), could you please to a step by step video? I'm completely in love with this design, but as I'm new to sewing I really need to see step by step what you did(like you did with the men's hood).
Would really appreciate it. And wouldn't it fit in your #mybasicheart style series? :)
*casually* "I made a few pewter buttons..." Whaaaaaa???????
Repeat 50 billion times 😂😂
I need to make this project this winter. I’m just going through everyone’s older videos to find a project that isn’t a mask. I just got over covid, so I don’t feel like making masks.
A dowel would turn the pipey thing right side out a lot faster.
It almost looks like a bonnet could you do a vid on button holes if you have i cant find it
Bernadette Banner has a video on that topic: czcams.com/video/W6QNtQ9kReM/video.html
I know I saw one of your videos where you stitched a fabric button, but for the life of me I cannot find it again. Can you tell me which one it was?
Yes I did! It was in the men's tunic video: czcams.com/video/R_C3Wc62dXg/video.html
I wanna wear this to the huge grocery store just to see how many other nerds say “Hey, cool lirapipe!”.
It would happen…
What colours were common for ladies hood's?
Red/pink were extraordinarily common, at least based on the manuscript images we have available. Blue was also quite popular. Lots of hood images here: www.pinterest.com/morgandonner/little-hoods/
Any day now....
Dammit! I want that! 😶
Probably going to drop the pipe and put some cat ears to make it more everyday-wearable. 💞😽
make the liripipe a cat tail
Such a good idea!💡
I might have to make one now
Lovely. However, I'd rather die than do buttonholes by hand.
Wonderful so much thank you
I saw all those in the past at
Tv and i love these thigs as i am one of yuor country
Do you notice that your dress is also wonderful i hope i have the same مبارك عليك
With love from syria to you and to everybody
Ugh! Long braids in hoods are the worst!! Having them pressed against your neck feels ick and they take up so much space inside the hood. Shooting them out the front is simply not an option!
