A few days ago I had on this cute Turquoise and White Chevron Print Top that I made a while back.  My daughter said I want you to make me a shirt like that.  I am always flattered when my children ask me to make something for them.  So I gladly told her yes and the next day headed to Hancock Fabric to find just the right fabric.
