Very cute! I did my zig zag as the last step after construction. I adjusted my setting to a fairly large zig zag, put on my open toe foot so I could see where to sew the edge and knotted and buried my thread ends when finished. I did increase the stitch length as I came to the thicker outside corner but I had no trouble sewing slowly off the edge. I can do a pair in half an hour now, guess what everyone is getting for Christmas.

I did not use interfacing. I cut the outside fabric out, laid it on top of a 80/20 rectangle of quilt batt and stitched around the top fabric 1/8 in from the edge. I then cut away the extra batt and it made it stable enough to continue. My lining was a rectangle of poly/cotton broadcloth. I made a few other changes that work well for me but do what works for you.
