For the Love of Chevron

Chevron (or Cheveron) is a pattern with an inverted V-shape continuum.  It is a classic pattern that even dates back to 1800BC on rock carvings and pottery in ancient Greece.  Because it's a classic, it can never go out of style.  It's clean, simple, and one of my all time favorite patterns. 

Premier Fabrics offers some chevron in simple colors below.  Some shades are also available in burlap.  Premier fabrics are available at many fabric stores, and on sale often at Fabric.com.



These chevron fabrics are so colorful and just adorable.  They make me think of a kid's playroom.  Maybe I will order some to decorate my niece and nephew's rooms?!?!  These patterns are by Remix and also available at Fabric.com for purchase. 

           



Now, how to incorporate chevron into your life if you cannot sew your own pillows or window treatments with the fabrics shown above.  Buy from Etsy!  Check out the items I discovered.
