ByAnnie Bella Hood Expansion Pack

Add a beautifully tailored hood to your Bella Quilt Coat with the Bella Hood Expansion Pack from ByAnnie.

Designed as a companion to the Bella Quilt Coat pattern (required, sold separately), this expansion pack offers two versatile hood options to elevate both function and style. Both feature a refined three-piece construction that delivers exceptional shape, contour, and fit.

ATTACHED HOOD

Replaces the collar on a new Bella Quilt Coat for a clean, integrated look - modern and beautifully tailored. There is no zipper guard in this style, allowing the separating zipper to rest just below the neckline for maximum comfort and a polished finish.

REMOVABLE HOOD

Can be added to a new or existing Bella Quilt Coat, giving you the flexibility to adapt your style at any time. ByAnnie's Tool-Free Snaps attach the hood in three secure locations, making it easy to add or remove whenever you like. On a new coat, the zipper guard may be omitted, allowing the collar greater flexibility to fold down beautifully at the neckline.

Both hood styles are available in two views:

VIEW A

Created from contrasting fabric on both sides of the hood, with a coordinating fabric or foundation paper piecing (FPP) for the centre panel - perfect for making a real statement.

VIEW B

A classically styled quilted hood showcasing a single outer main fabric for the sides and centre panel.

Both views feature a single lining fabric and are fully lined with no raw edges.

For additional creative possibilities, pair both hood styles with the Bella Accent Sleeves FPP Expansion Pack (sold separately) to transform the centre hood panel with striking foundation paper piecing details.

From subtle and classic to bold and expressive - your Bella Quilt Coat just got even more versatile.
