    Help Please

    yes but youll still have to work with fabric, try draping a pattern , or use the pattern you have, but enlarge it around the edge, could be 1/4 " or 1/2", youll have to experimanet and see, why not get some cheap muslin fabric, that is used to make patterns in both fashion, and puppet building.
