Repeat step V with the other pre-made chain. The strap should
look something like this.

Trim the excess edge of the zipper to make it easier to work with.

For the placket, measure 3” from the end of the zipper tab and
mark with pins or chalk.
Now we will move on to the zipper, prepare the zipper placket
and tab.
NOTE: the selvage on this particular brand of cork fabric has a
very nice gold finish. Consider using an equally eye-catching
fabric for your zipper as well!
Fold the zipper tab over the free zipper edge and sew the tab
to the zipper. Note that the zipper is folded so that it fits perfectly
inside the tab to hide the hardware.
Using a matching thread and the zipper foot, sew along the top of
the zipper, starting at the marking points.
