Over on TikTok, I’ve seen a creator transform old jeans into a water bottle holder, another creator a beautiful necklace out of thrifted watches and a fellow TikTok user and creator transform beach towels into a stylish romper. </p><p> The creative options are endless when you’re a thrifter equipped with incredible sewing skills.
