Zigzaging
It’s finally bearable in my sewing room, so I’ve been playing around with the zigzags for the Just Swell pattern.
I was merrily making coloured zigzags – and loving them – before I realized that actually for the pattern the zigzags are white and it’s the outside that’s coloured. Now I’ve done a little of both and I’d be hard-pushed to say which way I prefer them.
They’re little and fiddly, but I absolutely love the effect!
I also really love using up all my little offcut Bliss scraps. There is something wonderful about making something nice out of the little odds and ends. It’s eminently satisfying! And it’s great to be sewing again!

I really like the coloured one although I guess the pattern does call for the white. Maybe you could make one side with the coloured piece and add an extra boarder to the back of the cover with the white zigzag. Then you could switch the cover depending on the day.
