Transform a Hawaiian Shirt into Stitched Art | Thrifted Textile Tutorial

In part 2 of my Hawaiian shirt stitching project I’ll show you how to combine different fabrics and fibers to create a piece of textile art bursting with colors and textures. Plus I completely redesign flowers from one shape and color into lovely Plumeria blossoms. Learn how to add personalized stitches, layer textures, and use recycled fabric in this creative stitchery project

This unique mixed media sewing project celebrates the start of summer by transforming a vibrant, secondhand Hawaiian shirt into a stunning page for a Stitch Notebook. And if you haven’t seen my Stitch Notebook video series, you can start HERE and watch how I created a way to display and showcase your stitched art in an organized notebook.

Stitch your story—one thrifted thread at a time.
