Let's get started!!

To make this you will need:

The pattern for making this can be drawn by yourself by watching my YouTube video.

Layer an outer layer face up, then the zipper face down along one edge, and then the lining face down. Sew with an allowance of about 3/8″.

Open out, press pieces away from the zipper.

Use the same process to sew the zipper to the other side of the fabric pieces.

Topstitch the fabric down both sides of the zipper.

Fold your tab fabric piece in half with the 2” sides together and press. Fold in half to make your tabs. Place the tabs on both ends of the fabric and sew.

With assembled lining right side up, center zipper panel right side facing down along top edge. Place the outer layer, right side down on top. Pin in place.
