Grr...Zippers... =(

Alright, so I've made this cute little make up purse out of this cool black and white stripe fabric. I've got everything sewn together except for the top part where you have to sew in the zipper and the lining. I've had such a hard time I've actually put off this little project for a good 3 weeks or more. Any one have tips for dealing with zippers?
