    That is just gorgeous. How did you make that? Is it the same way as the other one that uglycook made. Her directions were great. i guess you could do it the same just round off the front and bottom. Its beautiful.

    I'm thinking about giving the rounded corners a try on this blue jacket. I think that if I just take a small plate and place it on the corner and trace around it, I can trim matching curves. It will actually make putting the binding on even easier.

    I decided to make the front of my jacket with curved edges so I pulled some plates and bowls from my cupboards and decided that an 8 inch (lunch size) plate worked the best.

    I chalked around the edge of the plate

    Stitched just to the inside of the line to hold the patches in place after I cut

    Put the plate back on the line and run the rotary cutter around it

    Time to finish the binding!

    Placing the front of the binding, unpressed side, to the back of the top edge, leave about a half inch folded over at the top edge. Stitch it down, about 1/4 inch from the edge.

    Fold the top edge down like this and then tuck the corner under

    and then fold your pressed edge over like this
    [ATTACH=CONFIG]87517[/ATTACH]

    and then fold the whole piece over to the front and you are ready to stitch it down.
