Upcycling t-shirt with gathers

What to do with your old basic t-shirts that are getting old? Today we're suggesting you twist them up with ruffles.
On the sides or in the centre, they'll add
a light, fresh touch and give new life to your not-so-basic t-shirts!

Give your basics a second life with upcycling

Basics are pieces that we tend to renew regularly because we wear them so often that they age. Nothing could be more normal! But instead of throwing them in the bin, why not recycle them and turn them into new key pieces in our wardrobe?

T-shirts, jeans, white shirts, little black dresses...
Take stock of your basics and think about what they could become.

Today, we're giving you an initial lead for
upcycling your t-shirts!"The one with the gathers.

Upcycle your t-shirt with ruching

Transforming a basic t-shirt into a sexy little top, that's the inspiration we suggest you discover in this article!

In fact, by
customising your t-shirt with ruching, you'll give it a whole new style. A little top for evening or summer, it will take on a new place in your dressing room.

For this upcycling idea, you could imagine
sewing gathers on the sides or in the centre. It's up to you to choose the style that suits you best. In either case, the gathers will reveal your hips and belly button more or less discreetly, thus bringing lightness and sexiness to your top.

Configure us one of your old t-shirts and let a Tillist take care of the rest. Simply contact us via our site or directly via the Tilli app. In less than a week, you'll have a brand new t-shirt and who knows, maybe you'll want to trust us with your entire dressing room!
