1- 1. Cut 4 semicircles using the template and 2 pieces of fabric each measuring 41.5 x 53.5 cm (incl. 1 cm seam allowance). Snip a small notch at the centre point of the long side (53.5 cm). This notch aligns with the notch on the arc of the semicircle.

Continue sewing, passing the mark at the centre, to the next marker, and again trim the seam right back to the sewing machine needle as before. Now sew to the notch at the zipper.
