How do I embroider a sweater?

If there's one thing you can't learn overnight, it's embroidery.You've certainly been able to see these artists working with dozens or even hundreds of threads, on magnificent wooden embroidery looms. Their work is golden and we envy their talent.

But if embroidery is an art that combines work, taste and skill, it is above all a supreme art in the realm of patience. So for this new embroidery project, give yourself some time and don't put the cart before the horse!

Embroidery, the art of decoration

When it comes to upcycling, embroidery is magic! It will magnify old clothes and give new life to pieces you no longer love.From a simple motif to an exceptional ornament, embroidery is accessible to all wallets and styles.

With a little mastery, you can customise your embroidery with beads to make it even more spectacular.

And without false modesty, at Tilli we're a bit of specialists!

What's more, our partnership with
Swarovski means we have a stock of gorgeous stones and crystals from which you can select the ones you're most attracted to and which will come to embellish your new sweater! Canon, no?

The punch needle

Punch needle is a derivative of embroidery that is less well known in France.

It's a more accessible technique for novices, which, with the help of a "magic needle" will allow you to create some crazy relief designs.

There are so many possibilities with this age-old technique, so many works of art to create.
Sort through your wardrobe and see which pieces might deserve a little makeover!
You can even go rummaging through your underwear!
And yes, even our little knickers are entitled to their embroidered motif!
