With assembled outer layer right side up, center zipper right side facing down (zipper pull at right) along top edge. Pin in place. Using your zipper foot, sew along top edge using a 3/8″ seam allowance.
Place the lining, right side down on top. Pin in place. Using your zipper foot, sew along top edge using a 3/8″ seam allowance.
Open out, press pieces away from and top stitch on 1/8” away from the zipper.
