Upcycled Tie-Dye in Ottawa | Mixed Results

Give New Life to Your Cotton Garments

Do you have a favourite shirt, hoodie, or tote that’s faded or forgotten?
Mixed Results offers tie-dye upcycling in Ottawa, transforming well-loved cotton items into vibrant, wearable art. It’s a sustainable, creative way to extend the life of what you already own — and keep it uniquely yours.


What Can Be Upcycled?

  • T-shirts & sweatshirts
  • Hoodies & activewear
  • Dresses & baby clothes
  • Tote bags & canvas shoes
  • Jeans, denim jackets, linens & pillowcases
  • Cotton towels

Fabrics That Work Best

  • 100% cotton
  • Cotton blends (with minimal synthetics)
  • Canvas & denim
  • Rayon, hemp, bamboo, linen
  • Tencel (Lyocell)

Not suitable: polyester, nylon, acrylic — synthetics don’t absorb dye properly. Always check your label before sending.
