Hi I’m struggling to work out how to skin a dashboard bezel or similar round item . I need to know how to get it around the item and fold inside to cover the bezel. Do I cut a strip or lay a piece over and cut a hole in the middle? I’m stuck please help

Definitely a difficult one to do as you need to try and get it to drape over the U shape profile of the bezel.  My initial thoughts would be to use conventional fabric to drape over the outside and the curved lip, then use cut lines to get it into shape on the inside.  On its own you'd see the cut lines, so use a strip of ProFinish on the inside to make the inside neat and cover over the cut lined fabric.
