Here is where ...That picture helps tremendously. <br /><br />Here is where I posted my problem with it: http://sewersluts.blogspot.com/2009/08/diaper-bag-is-possessed-by-sewing.html<br /><br />The Butterick diagram for the zipper install makes it look like the zipper is face down when you attach it to the facing, but looking at your in-progress photo, it looks like you would have had the zipper face up during Step 17 or whatever it is. <br /><br />I have one more bag to make for myself -- I'm due in two weeks (!) -- so maybe I'll give that a try. <br /><br />Thanks for your help!Rachel Eloisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00206111166372883994noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2132533809320962451.post-82144690668991929472012-02-13T10:24:36.892-05:002012-02-13T10:24:36.892-05:00Oh and here is a picture of how the constructed zi...Oh and here is a picture of how the constructed zipper should look from the inside (ie from the wrong/lining side). - http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_OXcXpwb40Is/SowLzs5tqMI/AAAAAAAABsA/AsoGA9sEXYk/s400/latestcarddump+022.jpgCliohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05552253628640209694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2132533809320962451.post-85021492596873613352012-02-13T10:20:39.565-05:002012-02-13T10:20:39.565-05:00Oh no!

I think (and please keep in mind this is going back 2+ years)that when I read the directions I couldn't really see where they were going, but when I followed them to the letter (making sure that I was doing things exactly as written) I had that "aha!" moment and it all went together easily and beautifully. My advice would be to make sure all your pieces are well marked so that you are working with the correct pattern piece and that you pay close attention to directional instructions - right/wrong side together, zipper facing up/down, etc.Cliohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05552253628640209694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2132533809320962451.post-10234230743409571242012-02-12T20:28:58.186-05:002012-02-12T20:28:58.186-05:00I've made this bag two times and I find the zi...I've made this bag two times and I find the zipper instructions to be quite frustrating. Both times that I followed the instructions, when I turned the bag inside out, my zipper was upside down. I'm really not sure where I'm going wrong. Do you remember much about the facing/zipper/turning point?Rachel Eloisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00206111166372883994noreply@blogger.com
