Fall is arguably one of the best seasons to upgrade your cold weather wardrobe. Quilted leather has been on the rise, with drool-worthy crewnecks from the likes of coveted designer label, Balmain. A luxe leather alternative to more traditional approaches, this on-trend look has major street style cred and offers a unisex appeal. Believe it or not, you can get inspiration from high fashion and translate it easily into your own wardrobe.

Take a simple sweatshirt and elevate it to a whole new level with this fun DIY tutorial from Liz Bryson at Cotton and Curls. For supplies, Liz used several pins, a pair of scissors, black thread and her sewing machine.

She first started by cutting out two pieces for the arms.
Next, she pinned these cut outs to the sleeves. Matching your thread to your fabric creates a neat, coordinated end result.
After that, she began to sew the quilted leather pieces onto the sleeves.
As for any residual fabric, she simply cut off any extra to keep things looking clean and fresh.

Although Liz used a sweatshirt with this easy tutorial, the possibilities are literally endless! Try adding a few patches of quilted leather to a pair of gray sweatpants for a look that matches from head to toe. Or, add a few strips of quilted leather panels to a jacket for an added sense of cool.
Edgy and chic, this quilted leather sweatshirt looks fresh off the runway. People will be shocked at how simple this DIY tutorial is.
