Second Skyros Panel Finished

The small motifs are finished off and the second panel for my chair is out of the frame and ironed.















I pinned the new panel on to the chair cover, while it was still on the chair. This gives me the most reliable fit.






















I then removed the cover from the chair and stitched the panel to the cover using my machine.


I am mightily pleased with the result.




There is, however, no stopping now, as the chair looks decidedly unfinished!


Four more men and a few motifs to go.

    It is sooo good, Jillian! I think I've said it before, but it will be like joining a party every time you sit down to sew. :D

    I hope you are considering sending a photo off to CB when it's done - I'm sure the designer will be thrilled to see it too.

    Loving it! Can't wait to see it finished. I agree with Monica about sending a pic when finished to CB. It is quite an achievement.
