"What I look to do, is make it look like it does on the book. I lay my pieces out together. And that looks right pretty. So I think I will sew it. What I do is I flip this up against this edge and I put a pin there. I may adjust it. I will have to as I sew. Then I flip this one down over here over this and I put a pin in it.
