It wasn't difficult at all. Just make the shark body and lining a 1/4" bigger than the pattern. This makes it easier to get the zipper in. I also found using a zipper with smaller teeth was a bit more forgiving around the corners. Next time I make one I am going to try a polyester zipper. The when cutting out the lining, the tail is cut off. And I would suggest a little bit larger patchwork pieces. I used small ones because the fabrics were leftovers from other work. You know.....waste no fabric!
I would love to see your shark(s) when your done.
