Hello
I’m new to this forum and trying to find some advice about how to make a canvas cover for my outdoor woven egg cave, it’s not your typical hanging egg and I have no idea how to work out how to make the pattern or even what shape to make the pattern pieces!
I was thinking about making a half dome first by cutting a circle the same diameter as the widest part of the egg and then making cuts every so far towards the centre of the circle but not all the way, then placing this over the top of the egg and pinning them back together to create the top half of the cover. I could then attach a skirt that would hang down all the way around to cover the bottom half, does this sound like it would work or am I way off with my idea and what would be the best way to measure it? Where would I take the measurements from for the cuts in the circle etc?
I hope my question makes sense but I’ve added a picture if that helps.
Thank you in advance for any help or advice
