Who can make a Hawaiian style shirt for me???

Any of you want to do this for me?
I have the fabric but my machine is buried in storage.
I you can and would be interested it may be best you start a conversation with me.
Thank you!

 

Aloha shirt, we Kamaaina called 'em.

 

I could take a shot at the design...
But... I think you are more than able to handle the art... no technology savvy here.

 

Indeed!
I thought that more broad a stroke.

I have the fabric Gila but I'm open to ideas!
I love these shirts.
I should show my Lady Liberty ones sometime.

I bought a bunch of Navy themed fabric at the thrift today for 2.99.

 

If I were in your position I think I'd sell the fabric as-is and buy an Aloha shirt online, might be cheaper?

 

OHHHHHHHHHHHHH, NOW I get it.
You have the fabric. D'oh!
Good luck, Kingsie!

 

It depends though I will look.
I like this fabric and I had one made before with Tonkas on it for when I did toy shows and it was a great deal.

 

Hi Milt,
I LOVE Hawaiian shirts, wore them up until last year. My size grew and supply has dwindled. Now you have me thinking of raiding my closets. Put an ad in the local paper, there must be a lot of ladies who do custom sewing. My neighbor made me a few of my shirts, usually charged me 10 bucks if I supplied the fabric.

Maybe you could just wrap yourself in the fabric sarong style

 

Ok, another expedient, something I'd do without worrying too much: Take another shirt with Aloha shirt-type cut. Cut pieces of material so they will fit over the old shirt and lie flat everywhere. Spray backsides of cut pieces one at a time with 3-M spray glue and apply each piece to old shirt. But first read glue directions since there are different ways to use it depending on how permanent you want the attachment. I luv spray glue!

 

Yay! What size are they????
I have many and have been picking up some to sell...which I should start prepping to do so shouldn't I...

I had that Tonka one made for $25 and I couldn't have been happier.....
$10!!!!! I would have my own made for I see many great fabrics.
Here are my Statue of Liberty shirts>>>

Ummmm......
How do you know that's NOT me?????

 

Now THAT'S an interesting idea!
I recently got 2 or 3 cans of the 3M heavy duty spray, not the 77, the better one.... FREE!
That's at least $50 or so. I've seen them for $30 a can now.

 

I made myself one years ago, but these days I generally just make quilts. I'll bet a local dry cleaner that offers tailoring would know someone.

 

Strangely enough, there are a slew of ladies (mostly) who make Hawaiian style shirts for Santa. All the gatherings I attend have hand-made shirts because Santa doesn't wear wool or flannel in the summer. You might check those sites on line and see if any of them would be willing to take your material and make a shirt. They already have the patterns.

 

Yay!
Thank you! I will!
Which sites are those please?

 

Let me check with the New England Santa Society. I know a couple of the Mrs. Claus ladies make custom shirts to sell at our conventions.

 

Thank you!
