Project Run and Play Sew Along Week 2: The Chevron Challenge

Well, I barely finished this one on time given everything else that's been going on around here this week...
But, I had these great ideas and I couldn't let them just fizzle away.

This weeks challenge on Project Run and Play was to create a look using chevron.

I came up with a pair of pants that features a large scale chevron pattern in a turquoise ombre colorway.

I pieced together quilting cotton and a dark wash denim to make the chevron fabric.

The pants are lined with fabric from a super soft, old pillowcase and have a patch pocket with decorative stitching on one leg.

When I think of chevron, I always think of ric-rac and that's how the Ric-Rac Racer shirt was conceived.
I know ric-rac is not technically chevron, but it's sooo close.

The shirt is a store bought long sleeved t-shirt that I embellished with applique race cars, zooming ric-rac lines and bright colored button tires.

My favorite thing about the shirt are those glittery button tires.  Yes, boys like glitter too!

I'm really happy with how this look came out...it is just how I imagined it!

What do you think?

I hope you have a chance to check out all of the other PR&P sew along looks here.
And you can vote on Friday for your favorite All-Star look here.
