chevron pattern pillow

a few weeks ago i found out what a chevron was,after thinking it was some kind of foreign car company i was happy to know it was a really cool pattern.so i became obsessed with it and this was one of the first things i went and did.

so all you need is
*a small pillow
*fabric paint
*paper
*pins
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
first take your paper and cut out the chevron pattern,you can make them long or short because it is a really versatile pattern(i went with the long stripes)this is a basic chevron pattern

after you have enough chevrons cut out at the right size to fit the pillow,pin them on using a method that leaves a gap inbetween .this is the part you will paint

afte the pillow is painted remove the paper,if you stayed between the lines you will have a crisp look to your stripes.allow to dry overnight.
so there you have it ,another tutorial from sew as i go that doesn't involve sewing (;
