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

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