Inspired by Chevrons guest: Rebel & Malice

Today we have guest Rebel & Malice as part of the Inspired by Chevrons series. Melissa is a very talented sewist, and blogger, and mom of five super cute kids. Her creative projects include great stuff like this vintage 1920's inspired dress and tutorial.

How adorable is that dress? She has a tutorial for how to make the headband too. Now, with that being said you have to go see the awesome dress she made for the Inspired by Chevrons series. Here's a little sneak peak at what she made. 

It is from a pattern she made herself! Great job Melissa! Also, she has promised a tutorial to come...so you just might want to start following her blog too. I know I am!

Please keep sharing the chevron love and  add your chevron projects in the Inspired by Chevrons Flickr group. I will continue to feature projects from the Flickr group here on my blog. Don't be shy; anything sewn that has chevrons is fair game!

Inspired by Chevrons guest: Sutures and Sandpaper

I want to introduce you to a really awesome set of bogging sisters - Sutures and Sandpaper. 

Don't you just love the name! If you are as intrigued as I was, check out how they came up with their name.

 Honestly, this contribution to my Inspired by Chevrons series blew me away! These girls made not one, not two, but FIVE chevron garments...and a chevron bunting! Sweet! That is more than I could ever ask for. I am in love with every one of them too. I may have mentioned it in the past, but I love neutral colors, especially gray,  paired with bright colors. And that is just what was made! These girls are after my own heart <3

How cute are those kids!? Super adorable!

Head on over to Sutures and Sandpaper to see the more of the awesome chevron projects made! That jacket is definitely going on my list of things to make. Thank you so much for sharing Kerry and Linda. You girls rocked it!

Please share your chevron projects in the Inspired by Chevrons Flickr group...you may be featured!  I welcome anything chevron, old or new, shirt, bag, or pillow...anything! Share the chevron love :)

Inspired by Chevrons Flickr Feature Friday #1

I was pleasantly surprised by the lovely chevron sewing shared on the Flickr group. For having just started there was a wide range of projects shown. I guess that just speaks to the versatility of chevrons. Such a simple shape with so many applications.

So, on with this weeks feature. My favorite is this red chevron dress by Lily Shine Boutique. It is just bright, beautiful chevrons, unencumbered.

Thanks for sharing LilyShine. You can check out the Etsy shop here http://www.etsy.com/shop/LilyShine 

Please continue to keep adding your chevron projects to the Flickr group http://www.flickr.com/groups/inspiredbychevrons/

Each week I will pick a favorite, or two, to feature here on the blog. 

Rock the chevrons! ;)
