Assembling the Zipper Unit of the Diva Purse

Here are the steps to making the zipper unit for the Diva Purse.
Start with you six zipper strips.
2 main fabric, 2 lining, 2 fusible batting



Fuse batting to main fabric backs.

Line up zipper, face down, on right side of main fabric.


Baste and then sew using zipper foot.

Right sides together, sew the lining onto the zipper and main fabric piece.


Turn, press, and top stitch.


Lay zipper face down on edge of other strip. Baste. Opening the zipper made it easier.

Now sew on lining piece right sides together.


Turn and top stitch.




The zipper unit now looks like this.
Sew back and forth over zipper to keep the pull from coming off when you cut it off and unzip it.
