I am working on rebuilding a Hyperlite SNS8. I am fairly new to this and am wondering how to connect the edges of fabric cover to windows?

For example, this first one seem to have those transitions right around a tube of the fuselage. But how is that transition done? Any detailed pictures or examples? If it is simple enough, that might be my preferred way. I like things simple.

This next one is even more interesting. There seem to be curved edges not along the tube line. How could this be done? Cover with fabric first and then cut out the transparent section? But then how is the transparent section installed one? Glue, stitches, or other tricks?

Your help is very appreciated.
