Help with interpreting S4789 instructions! Sewing “view B” jumper

Edit: Got it! Thank you angels 😊😊😊

Hi friends, I’m stuck on this step that’s asking me to attach the zipper. I just can’t visualise it. Question 1, do I sew the zipper:
A. Upside down on the folded edge or B. Right side up? Both sides of the back have this seam folded. Question 2, I’m confused about it asking me to then go over the zipper 1/8”. Is the other side of the zipper then not sewn close to the folded part, but 1/8” away? I’m a quilter so not inexperienced with a sewing machine but really wanting to learn to sew clothes :) the only zipper practice I’ve had so far are with pouches.

please also note this is just a practice piece using scraps, so please ignore the not PERFECTLY cut edges and not-matching zipper lolol. Thank you!

I don’t prefer the “sew a whole wardrobe in 24 hours with me” or “sew a whole closet in 48 hours” videos. I’m looking for YouTubers like Frieda Lepold who go more into couture but more importantly show the making of one piece and focus on one solid, well-made garment through completion. Literally the closest I’ve found are those Korean suit-making or Hanbok-making videos but those don’t have any speaking usually, but thankfully they have translated captions most of the time noting the process. Anyways, just looking for more channels to learn and satisfy my sewing urge through the work-day lol.

I’m also recalling a gal who has a dark academia/goth aesthetic that does similar videos, I know I’m subscribed to her but I can’t recall her name at the moment. She does really cool historical pieces and stuff too. Please send your recs :)

bonus points for any creators who show their sewing mistakes in their videos and how to fix them, I love that kind of stuff.
