MYOG Down Hood

Excellent job, that looks great! I've got about the same amount of down left from my quilt materials, you may have just pointed me in the direction of my next project.

Impressive.

Do want.

Is that nylon? Ripstop? How does one iron it…no melty?

Thanks William and Delmar.

The fabric is leftover 15D Impetus 1.0 micro ripstop nylon from the quilt I made last week.

I used my iron (without water and steam setting turned off) on medium setting and it was warm enough to create the creases I wanted without damaging the fabric.

I want to try using Argon next, but the 15D variety from Dutch Ware Gear. It's only $8/yard and comes in under an ounce/sq.yard and in a variety of colors.

Nice work, looks great.

Unrelated, but btw, where did you buy that sew through fabric tape that you talked about awhile back?

Hey Justin,

I bought it at Seattle Fabrics, and it's called Wonder Tape. It's also available at Joann Fabrics in 0.25" x 10yd and 25yd rolls.

I think you did a nice job. I've always wondered why nobody makes a balaclava that can open up to act as a simple hood. You did it! I want one too.

Thanks for the reply and info Andy.
