Good zipper tutorial?

[bestill]

It's been a really, really long time since I've sewn a zipper in. Does anyone know of a good online tutorial for sewing in a zipper? I'll be using decorative zippers that I want to show. Thanks!

The only tutorials I know are for invisible and lapped zippers--ones you don't want to show. I'll do some digging for tutorials for visible zippers.

I think I can figure it out . . . I basically want to make some pencil bags or little purses. I think form looking at one I've got (and I vaguely remember talking to you about it before), I can figure it out--sew the front & back to the zipper, then sew the sides. I'll have the zipper go the full width, which will make it easier.

I just found this one. Looks like a nice tutorial.

THANKS! I want to line it also, so this will be great.
