Upcycling denim pockets

Your denim is getting old - it even looks like it's been sulking for months, alone in your wardrobe. Why not give it a makeover? It's such a fun makeover that once it's finished, you'll never want to take it off!

Today we're giving you the chance to customise your old jeans by working only on the pockets. You'll be amazed at what you can do.

Pretty embroidery to enhance your jeans

Sometimes there's no point in complicating things.

Here's a soft, unique detail that will bring style to your jeans.

You can choose a word or an object, depending on what speaks to you or is most like you.

That's the great thing about embroidery. You can really create something very personalised.

You probably know this, but at Tilli, we love embroidery and would love to create these designs with you!

Customise the pockets with studs

Highlight one of your denim pockets by filling it with studs or beads depending on your style!

It's a detailed job that will require a lot of patience but frankly, the result is worth it.

Turn your pocket into a work of art

For those of you who are artists or just like to paint, you could try your hand at textile painting and customise your jeans pockets in the process.

There are so many possibilities here. Close your eyes and let your imagination play. One design will stand out from the stream of your thoughts and that's the one you'll paint.

This activity mixes sewing, painting and meditation all in one.

Give it a try, you'll see!
