How much fabric would I need to make the longer back? I haven't decided whether or not to make the shorter back or the longer back. For each, what do you suggest the distance should <br />be from the left edge of the fabric to the cutout of Margehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13103745355935759823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1482558900455851331.post-32796147840752088962015-09-15T11:38:25.038-07:002015-09-15T11:38:25.038-07:00I'm far from being a kid, but I just moved to ...I'm far from being a kid, but I just moved to the south.

We live in San Diego and don't get a lot of rain but it's been tricky when getting our daughter in and out of the van when is does rain. But what's up with the hood and neck template?

Sad thing is that I don't do FB, for lack of self-discipline to limit my time there.

Also, there are some sizes for large dining tables that probably have plenty of extra fabric for making the hood. Of course, this would mean re-hemming the cut edge, but that shouldn't be a problem.
