The A Beautiful Mess Leather Pockets Update Basic Apparel

The A Beautiful Mess How To Add Leather Pockets To A Skirt post offers a quick and easy way for one to update basic apparel. Although a wool skirt was used to demonstrate the DIY process, readers can replace the garment with nearly anything that would prove to be an aesthetically pleasing backdrop for the strips of brown hide.

Only four steps are listed in this project, making it fairly easy to replicate at home. Furthermore, all one needs are scissors, measuring tape and a sewing machine.

Although these pockets are relatively small, the size can of course be tampered with. Those who reinterpret the design may also choose to incorporate varying shapes and styles.
