Spruce up your wardrobe this season with a bold leather skirt. DIY Blogger Chantelle Fashion created this simple and easy to follow do it yourself tutorial to create a straight cut leather skirt.

To get started, be sure to check out our very own pencil skirt pattern. Make sure to take your measurements beforehand to ensure an accurate fit.

Start by cutting out the pattern pieces from your leather fabric.
Sew one straight seam down the middle to create a tunnel shape for your skirt.
Next, you’ll want to work on attaching the zipper. Lay the fabric flat and put both sides of the fabric together, being sure to work with the fabric inside out. Hand stitch the zipper into place to secure it.
Depending on your sewing machine, you might opt to sew the hem using a serger mode to adhere the hem in place. Or, take it old school and sew the hem by hand using a matching needle and thread.

And that’s it! You’ll look chic as can be with an edgy leather skirt. This pattern can be used to make a black leather skirt, just like in this tutorial, or you can create your own variations.

Try mixing things up by trying another shade, like camel or wine red for a sultry new look. Pair with a bustier for a sizzling holiday party getup, or wear with a striped cardigan for another festive outfit. However you choose to style it, you’ll stand out in the best way possible with this fun leather skirt idea.
