Center the zipper teeth along the basted seam and pin. Baste in center of zipper tape and across the end using a zipper foot (Dia. H). Note: The zipper opening will be at the bottom of the Bunting, so the zipper pull is at the bottom. 8. Turn Bunting over to sew zipper in place from right side. Begin at the neckline and sew ¼" from folded edges around zipper and back to neckline, stopping to move zipper tab while sewing. Note: A few basting stitches will need to be removed. Dia. H

11. Pin Swaddle Wrap pieces RST and use a ¼" seam allowance to sew leaving a 4" opening on a straight edge for turning. Clip curves and turn right side out; press and hand stitch opening closed. Topstitch ¼" away from outer edge. Swaddle Wrap should measure 9" x 28 ½". 12. With the bottom edge of the Swaddle Wrap toward you, fold the Swaddle Wrap so curved edges meet to find the center and draw a center line with the removable marker across the width. Along the center crease of the back, mark 2 ¾" down from neckline. Pin the Swaddle Wrap to the Bunting Back with the top of the center line matching the drawn mark. Measure 4 ¼" on both sides of the center line and use a removable marker to draw straight sewing lines. Sew along lines through Wrap and Bunting Back (only) to attach (Dia. J).
