I didn't answer your question in it but will here. The seam allowance along an outside edge is 1/4". That means it'd be a quarter along the neck, down the cf and around the bottom. All the same. HI Oriole, I posted the entry today. I didn’t answer your question in it but will here. The seam allowance along an outside edge is 1/4″.

This is something I have been trying to get under control. I loved the lapped zipper tutorial but haven't had the time to figure out the seam allowances. You gave the draft for a 3/8-inch seam allowance but I use half inch. If the allowance changes what is the correct amount to remove from the facings? How do you adjust for a different zipper width? When do you change a seam allowance for say a vest, around the neck 1/4, down the front 1/4 of 3/8 and then turn the bottom and it goes to 1/2? I always thought the allowance didn't change in less the stitching stopped. Maybe this wasn't what you had planned to talk about, but hope you might have some answers.
