As Scott said, cutting the fabric into smaller pieces with the aid of some small templates, will make the job of getting it into the mould recesses much easier. A mist of good spray tack and a roller cutter might also help you get some nice sharp cuts to the right size.

It should also help you get a good uniform weave finish on the final part with a bit of thought, as trying to lay a single piece will likely result in quite a lot of distortion.

What do u mean by cutting into smaller  peices 
Would that be on the second layer  and so on ?

I meant possibly trying to cut each of the inner 'up and down' sections of the piece as separate pieces that overlap each other slightly and then doing the outer flange section also as a separate piece with some small cuts so that you could overlap it onto the pieces already laid. Done neatly, the joins could be almost seamless and this would allow you to get the weave of each section nice and straight and in a uniform direction. It would also help with getting the surface layer tight into the mould without the risk of bridging.

I'd also look to do something similar with the heavier backing layer, but you could afford to be a bit less exact with that as you'd only be trying to get it to lay down fairly tight onto the surface layer

It'd be fiddly on a relatively small mould such as that, but misting the fabric with spray-tack or, perhaps, using something like EC's Profinish will help keep your cut lines sharp

Done as a single surface layer it looks nigh-on impossible to achieve a neat looking finish
