The Daily Chair. I've been working on the second chair and am going to put on the cover this evening. In the meantime I'm waiting for the weather to warm up a little so I can finish staining the the wood chairs. Here's a preview of the first with just one coat of stain and varnish, the seat is removeable. I think it looks not too bad.

I think it looks lovely um but just one little thing, you have a bird there on the right with no head. Why?
the head is on another piece of fabric , you can see it if you look close. It looks too odd?
I could always change it , could take off the cover and resew a bit
I'm making a big matching scatter cushion so it will cover the weirdness a bit
also, I sat on it and it didn't break , i was so worried it wasn't strong enough
Hehe! I attempted not lopping off bird heads on my patchwork, but at a point it becomes unavoidable. Birds just arenβt square.
I only noticed it because I do quilting but if you had a guest pull out the chair to sit down I doubt they'd notice it so I wouldn't change it.
The colours and the wood stain look so beautiful together I'd be really proud.
You could always appliquΓ© a head on, so that it overlaps the square where the head should be
Nevermind the head, just a googly eye. Except if it a sitting on bit.
maybe I could sew googly eyes on π
@Seagoon_ @Catfish I'm just generally impressed by your handywork! βΊοΈ
(It's seriously a million times better than I could ever hope to do. You're far more talented than I! βΊοΈ)
Almost doneβ¦ stay on target β¦
the head is just on another square
I think it looks great as is - youβve done an amazing job!
