We all know how hot Chevron patterns are right now and I have been finding ways to make them without the use of a silhouette.
More about that and to find another idea click HERE.
I wanted to make a pillow that would coordinate with the rest of my Scrabble pillows in the second living room and this seemed like a fun addition. I still hope to make a few more, I like a lot of pillows.
I am very happy with the way that it came out but I think someone else has adopted it as their own....

Materials
- Two patterns of fabric
- Steam a seam or other fusible webbing
- Sewing machine
- Scissors and pen
- Pillow fluff.
This is what the package of the webbing I used looks like, I am a visual person and I got a question about it with the Scrabble pillow project.
First, I measured my fabric to the size I wanted for the pillow, then I folded the top piece in half. That is when I took a strip of paper, the width I wanted the Chevron to end of being, and laid it diagonally across the fabric. When I got the angle I wanted, I trimmed down each side.
Then I traced it onto the back of my fusible webbing, I used my template twice to make each chevron. The kind that I am uses says to trace it on the back and apply it to the fabric, with the backing still on.
Then cut out your Chevrons ( I made a few more than this).
Then, I peeled off the backing, making sure to leave the webbing behind and placed them where I wanted them on the fabric. Next, I just ironed them down!!
To secure it all I sewed very close to the edge, all the way around.
Next, I just did standard pillow stuff, two sides, right sides together and sew around leaving a hole.
Fold right side out, stuff and sew close. DONE!
And apparently it is very comfortable.
