cloak question(thread?needle?get over here!)

[cheeto]

I'm thinking about making a cloak,I've made them and other things for younger relitives,but I've never put a hood on them,I was wondering if anyone could show picks or explain any ideas on how to add one without it looking too obviosely like it was sewed on seperatly(does that make sense?)and would a drawstring look tacky?(it's looked fine with the others,but I like hearing other ideas)if you have a desighn with sleeves(I've seen them before,very cool)post it up
