Does the zipper on the Whitney get sewn through both pocket pieces as well as the shell?

I think the answer is “Yes” but I just want to check to make sure.

Yes, your correct. You sew through them.

Thanks. Does the zipper on the opposite side of the draft tube never get top-sewed? It seems like doing this might help keep it from snagging.

you don’t top sew the zippers till after the draft tube is stuffed, then you do both sides at once. I say this from memory, so check the directions. I remember thinking the directions don’t say top sew but It’s implied. If you go back and read the thread I started when sewing mine I think AYCE talks about it.  I did my draft tube differently so I just top sewed it right after instillation.
