Beautify your old embroidered sheets
Out of fashion, too old, damaged, don't throw away your embroidered sheets, if by chance you own some! As you know, fashion is cyclical and what's tacky one day will certainly become trendy the next. Embroidery is a precious, meticulous art. It's found in many civilisations and cultures and if you're not a big fan of your old embroidered sheet, take a moment to observe it, in more detail. Look at the patterns, the colours and imagine what the story behind the fabric might be? Today, Tilli offers you a few ideas for recycling your old embroidered sheets and giving them a second life.Posted 4 ans

Recycle your old T-shirts
There's usually no shortage of T-shirts in our wardrobes. In fact, half of them should be thrown away... Sorry, did you say "thrown away"? It's true, t-shirts are getting slack, losing their sparkle and sometimes even the big pineapple print on them is completely out of fashion. But the t-shirt is one of those we don't throw away.Firstly because it can still, as a last resort, be used as a window cloth, but above all because with a little imagination, we can transform it and restore it to its number one place in our dressing room.Posted 4 ans
