Fashion blogger Dulce Candy created an easy to follow DIY tutorial creating a colorful faux leather circle skirt. For supplies, gather together some bright faux leather, matching thread and a zipper to coordinate. This is a beginner level sewing project that anyone can recreate.

For the first step, trace a skirt that fits well onto dotted paper to create a pattern.
Next, cut out the pattern using a pair of scissors.
Unfold your faux leather fabric and begin to pin the pattern down on the “wrong” side of the fabric, which means the opposite of the fun, colorful side.
After the pinning is complete, use your scissors and cut out the fabric with the pattern attached.
The next step is to create a waistband and pin it to the skirt fabric with the right sides together.
Sew the waistband using the sewing machine and a zipper approximately 7 inches in length. The wonderful quality about faux leather is that no hemming is required, so you won’t have to worry about any fussy fraying along the edges.
Lastly pin the opened zipper onto the skirt and sew together with the sewing machine.

The final result is gorgeous, and Dulce Candy styled her bubblegum pink skater skirt with a chic white and black polka dotted blouse. If you love looking polished, pair with a fitted blazer, wool hat and cute crossbody bag for a look that’s perfect for fall. Jessica, fashion blogger at Hapa Time, looks chic in a metallic skater skirt.

She teamed her skirt with a thin belt, galaxy print top and silver accessories. Add a little drama to your look by layering a tulle skirt underneath for added volume. Go for a goth inspired outfit by wearing all black and pairing with tights and lace up Doc Marten boots. Sweater weather is upon us, pair a playful knit with a colorful skater skirt and knit beanie for the chilly temps.

Amp up the volume on your look with heeled booties and a gold cuff around your leg for added intrigue. Mix and match heavy and light fabrics by pairing a faux leather skirt with a lace blouse, giving you a chance to wear summer pieces year-round.
