Dome Bag - 2.5 base & side stitched up.

Friday evening I cut out the two pieces of material for the base foam. This time I allowed for the side of the foam, plus extra for hemming the edges. Next was to pin the two pieces together, this proved a challenge as some of the side material has to be gathered up so the two diameters match up.

Saturday I sewed the two pieces together and not without it's problems. The first being I pinned the two halfs the right way round, instead of inside out, so the stitching is on the inside when turned out the right way. The with areas of miss stitching having to be gone over again.

Side material for the foam diameter protection. Placed the foam onto the material and folded it over. Was going to pin but instead used a chalk line as a guide. I added pins away from the stitch area just to help hold the material in place. All stitched up and foam fed into the fold. Test wrap around the dome and..........there’s a gap?!?!?
