If you’re like most people, you probably have a pair of jeans lying around that you just haven’t quite worn, well, ever. Take charge and try out this super easy do it yourself tutorial with faux leather. Get ready to spruce up a pair of jeans that are in need of a rework.

Blogger Demi Akin runs her own fashion blog called Highstreetmania, where she posts beauty and style tips, along with awesome do it yourself tutorials. This time, she created an easy to follow DIY for faux leather paneled jeans. The best part about this DIY? You won’t even need a fancy sewing machine, you can make this one by hand.

First, get started by trying on your jeans and use a thick piece of chalk to mark out where you’d like to place your panels.
Remove the pants, and then use a seam ripper or an exacto blade to remove the seams where you’d like to place your panels.
Take the piece of fabric and place it on the other pant leg, then repeat the process to make sure it’s even.
Use your pieces of fabric as a pattern for your panels.
Then, you’ll need to unfold your faux leather fabric and lay flat. Place your denim panels on top of the fabric and then cut out the faux leather fabric, which you’ll attach to your jeans.
Pin the leather fabric in place to the denim jeans carefully using your pins.
Use a needle and matching thread and simply hand sew into place.

Like we mentioned before, this DIY tutorial is so simple, you won’t even need a sewing machine. When you’re finished, flip the jeans inside out and you’ll have a chic pair of leather and denim jeans to rock! The result looks polished yet edgy, and we can totally see these jeans becoming a fall staple. Pair with a cozy sweater and ankle booties for a chic autumn look.
