I would like some chevron fabric. It’s not much to ask is it?
Well, apparently it is. Though some (me) would say that chevrons are The New Stripe and the thing to be decorating your house with this season others – meaning every UK manufacturer and distributor of fabric – seem to disagree and I can’t find any for love or money … Some may say I’m backing the wrong horse but across the pond in the good old U.S. of A it’s chevrons a-go-go, (though I have just been out there for two weeks and still couldn’t find any) hmmm has my stylee sense got it wrong this time?
I don’t think so … The chair above is amazing and from popular high street store Urban Outfitters. The American branches anyway ($349 if you’re interested (click on the picture to go buy)).
I guess I could go down the DIY route like this natty little number
Or Etsy is awash with cushions
1. £10 SewGracious click here to buy
2. £22 Dekowe click here to buy
3. £20 MissyMackCreations click here to buy
But really all I want is a couple of meters of grey chevron stripe material to cover the padded top of an old wooden chest I have. Anyone have any ideas?
Oh, I do love a zippy chevron. This online seller has a nice grey one listed – available by the metre as well as in fat quarters – http://stitchmelane.com/fabric/fabric-by-theme/spots-and-stripes-fabrics?product_id=433

Shhhhhh …. That’s the topic of my next post!
Haha I was gonna say spoonflower as well. If not there’s always etsy supplies as well!
ha ha ha!!! it has been my obsession of late (well since it started actually!)
What about patchwork grey and white to make chevrons? Lot of work though!
