Photo # 1 - Next I pull out the template and transfer the outline to another piece of card stock smoothing the edge lines from tab to tab.
Photo # 2 - After cutting out this second pattern and doing a test fitting (and trimming if required), I trace the pattern on the foam and cut it out.
Photo # 3 - I then pop the foam in place and trim if required. I’m making these with a fairly tight fit and the butt joints at the top and bottom of each section must be as precise as possible to reduce the possibility of telegraphing the joint through to the fabric when it is glued on.
