How to Sew a Circle
Place two fabric circles on top of each other and pin around the perimeter, leaving a 1u20442 inch (1.3 cm) seam allowance on each side. Sew around the curved edge with your hands to guide the fabric.
Sew basting stitches around the entire perimeter of the fabric circle, leaving an 1u20448 inch (0.320cm) seam allowance as you work. If you’re sewing a large circle, you might want to leave a 4-inch (10cm) gap between the seam allowance and the end of the fabric. You can iron your circle before or after you finish sewing it to help it lie flat.

How do you finish a curved seam?
Sew a baste stitch 1/8u201d from the fabric edge, leaving a few inches of thread at one end, then sew a second row of stitching at the hem’s intended seam allowance.
