3 piece suit source?

Thanks Sydnie,
I already have nice, round cuts that avoid the button hole. I am struggling with folding down the edges such that the smoothness of the curve is maintained. Folding and ironing an inch at a time, then pinning so I can check for accuracy has gotten me close, but as you said, I am not going to get it right the first time.

I want to invent a tiny iron for detailed jobs like this.

Already done: Link although you do have to be very careful of the unprotected, hot tip! Kind of like pressing with a soldering iron

Have you tried a small running stitch on the underside of the fabric (the part that folds under) so you can pull up and "gather" the excess material? Then once you have it to your liking, snip little triangular bits of material from the underside -- in essence, cut away the gathered material that is sticking up so what's left can lie flat (formally called "clipping").

Hope this helps and that I'm not being too remedial for your level.
