ByAnnie Patterns - Quilting Elissa - Bella Hood Expansion Pack - QE105

The Bella Hood Expansion Pack is designed to complement the Bella Quilt Coat.

The Bella Hood Expansion Pack offers two versatile hood options to enhance both functionality and style.

• When creating a new Bella Quilt Coat, the attached hood replaces the collar for a sleek, integrated look—modern and beautifully finished. This style features no zipper protection, placing the separable zipper just below the neckline for maximum comfort and a neat finish.
• The detachable hood can easily be added to a new or existing Bella Quilt Coat, allowing you to update your style at any time. ByAnnie's Tool-Free Snaps secure the hood in three safe places, making it easy to attach or remove. With a new coat, the zipper protection can be omitted, giving the collar more flexibility to drape beautifully at the neckline.

Both hood designs feature a refined three-piece construction that ensures exceptional shape, contour, and fit—it feels just as good as it looks.

Just like the Bella Quilt Coat, the Bella Hood offers a choice of two standard versions:

• Version A is made of contrasting fabric on both sides of the hood and a matching fabric, or foundation paper piecing (FPP), for the center panel to really stand out.
• Version B is a classically styled quilted hood with a single main fabric for the sides and the center panel.
  Both versions feature a single lining fabric and, just like the Bella Quilt Coat, no frayed edges. The hood is fully lined.

For extra creative possibilities…

Combine both the fixed-hood and detachable-hood versions with the Bella Accent Sleeves FPP expansion pack (sold separately) to transform the hood center panel with striking foundation paper piecing details.

From subtle and classic… to bold and expressive… Your Bella Quilt Coat is now even more versatile and is guaranteed to look beautiful in your handmade wardrobe.

The Bella Quilt Coat base pattern is required to use and attach the Bella Hood Expansion Pack.
