Tutorial, part 14 - Zipper Trim

Place the yoke zipper trim (piece S) on the body zipper trim (piece T), right sides together and edges flush.

Sew the pieces together with ¼" seam allowance and press open.















Place the zipper trim on the center front of the vest, edges flush and matching the seams. The trim should overhang the top and bottom of the vest by 1". 

Sew the zipper trim to the vest body ⅜" from the edge. 

Repeat for the other side. 



Press the zipper trim away from the body, toward the center of the garment.



Fold the top portion of the trim (the 1" that overhangs the top of the yoke) downward, then press. 

Fold the bottom portion of the trim (the 1" that overhangs the bottom of the vest) upward in the same manner, then press.



Fold the zipper trim inward, around the center edge, and press into place.
