Scrap busting: Self-Drafted Foam Block Cover

Last month, I tried to sew a foam block cover and it became my first sewing blooper of the year.  This is a correction project.  

The fabric is a 100% cotton left over from face mask sewing days.  It was previously pre-treated with a tumble in the washer and dryer before hitting the ironing board for a steam press.  The zipper is a teal colour invisible zipper pulled from the stash.  It is not a perfect match but as an invisible zipper that doesn't matter.  The zipper length was cut down to fit the size of the project.
