Pinning without pins

Can anyone think of a way to pin something without actually pinning it? I have a PVC top that needs to be re-sized, but if I pin it, it will have holes in it. Any ideas?

I'll try those. My biggest issue is that I'm going to have to pin it while I'm wearing it, so whatever I use has to be stable.

i don't know what they're called....but maybe those big black clips that businesses use to clip together a large amount of paper...it has those to flippy silver things on it to flip close or flip to pry open.

Size the panels and use paper tape to keep seam together. Stitch through tape and remove it after. I use this method for sewing leather

Try maskig tape! Sounds crazy but I often use it on bulky DIY sewing tasks and it works very well, not too tacky so it doesn't ruin the fabric.
