The edges of the fabric will 'bunch-up' on the curve.

You can alleviate this by cutting "V" notches in the fabric.

Take apart a brown paper grocery bag and use it to make a template for making the notches. You'll have to experiment a little to get the notches in the right places and at the right angle.
