Cindy from Cation Designs shows how to modify a basic t-shirt pattern to make a chevron peplum top.  She achieved the eyecatching chevron by cutting her pieces from a striped fabric.  The layout takes some planning to get all the pieces going in the right direction, but she shares a diagram showing which pieces need go which direction.  Go to her tutorial to see how to do it.
