Thrift Flip: Adding Pop & Color to an Embroidered Boho Vest
If you’re new here, my name is Julene Allen, and this is Julene Allen Studio. As an artist, jewelry designer, and collector, I live for bringing bold personality and vivid color into everything I create. In today’s video, I’m taking a lovely navy blue, cottagecore embroidered vest and giving it a personalized boho revamp. While the original light blue and gray stitching is sweet, I see the world in full color and wanted this piece to truly pop in my wardrobe. Watch along as I mix acrylic paint with fabric medium, grab my small detail brushes, and paint over select embroidered threads. I’ll also share my honest reflections at the end and what I learned for future hand-painted fashion experiments—plus, stick around to see how I styled the final piece for the ultimate boho vibe!
