I don’t know which pattern you’re doing so it is a little hard to imagine. Normally, with gathering, you do two rows of basting stitches, pull the basting stitches to gather to fit the section it needs to stitched to. Once you do a regular stitch or seam, post-gather, it’ll hold the gathered section together and the basting stitches can be removed. Depending on how thick the section is, with felt, it might be a little more difficult. I’m dying to see how your costume turns out. You can do it!
