If you’ve been dreaming about finding the perfect pair of leather shorts, this is the DIY that you’ve been searching for. Shania Manson, creator of blog Fashion by Shania, has created a simple and easy to follow DIY tutorial to create your own personalized pair of leather panel shorts.

  1. For this project, you’ll want to grab some faux leather fabric, a pair of leggings, scissors, measuring tape, a fabric marker, pins, and a sewing machine.
  2. Get started by trying on your leggings. You’ll need to use the fabric marker to gently measure where you want to cut the leggings off into shorts. Use the measuring tape to ensure a proper fit on both sides of the garment.
  3. Next, you’ll need to decide where you’d like to place the leather fabric. Gently trace out a pattern of where you’d like the leather fabric to be placed onto the shorts.
  4. Also, you’ll need to cut out the leather pieces from your faux leather fabric. Be sure to follow the detailed instructions on the YouTube video carefully.
  5. When cutting out your leather fabric, remember to leave a slight amount of extra fabric to allow for the garment’s seam allowance.

The finished product looks totally chic! These leather shorts are so cute, you’ll want to wear them all summer long. Pair with a crop top for a fresh summery look, or wear with an off-the-shoulder top for a romantic feel.

In need of a little bit more of an edge? Start by adding a delicate high-low necklace and subtle accessories to glam up your style. However you choose to wear them, these leather panel shorts are definitely a versatile statement piece. Spice up your wardrobe with a pair of these chic yet effortless shorts.
