If you’ve ever dreamed of making your own leather skirt, the time is now! DIY Hellopie has created this simple and easy to follow do it yourself tutorial for creating a pleated faux leather skirt. For materials, you’ll need faux leather fabric, needles that can handle leather types of fabric, a matching zipper, sewing machine, scissors, measuring tape and pins.

First start off by using your measuring tape and a light marker to mark the dimensions on your fabric.
Once you’ve measured it out, fold over once to create a pleat. You’ll need to repeat this several times and pin carefully in order to create the desired pleated effect.
After you’ve finished your pleats, it’s time to iron. Be sure to lay a soft fabric over top, like cotton, while ironing to avoid any damage to your fabric.
Next, you’ll begin sewing and you’ll need to attach the more durable needle. Work carefully and take your time to avoid any unnecessary mistakes.
Lastly you’ll need to pin down your waistband along the edge and sew in place.

The final result looks amazing! Style with a cute sweater or button up blouse and booties for a fresh fall look. Or, wear with a fun graphic tee for a flirty feel. However you choose to wear it, we’re sure you’ll get plenty of ooh-inducing compliments while wearing this one.
