maggiebooboo, 1st I put on my don't get aggervated hat, then I cut my curves.
:lol: No, really what I did was cut a stencil from stencil plastic, trace it onto the fabric or in my case, I just used my rotary cutter.
I snipped the gold piece about every 3/8 inch and about 1/8 inch inward, then placed the pieces like this, then pinned it in 5 places and sewed it.
