DIY: Leather Sleeves

Supplies: tee faux leather fabric clips scissors sewing machine chalk or marking pen

• Cut off the original sleeves from the tee.
• Cut open the sleeve.
• Use the sleeve as a pattern and place on top of leather. 
• Using the chalk, trace around the sleeve onto the leather fabric. Don't forget about seam allowance. 
• Cut out along the marked line. Set the thread tension loose and the stitch length longer.
• Sew the straight edges of sleeve together right sides facing each other. The wrong side shouldn't stick to the feeds.
•  Turn the sleeve right side out and clip to the armhole of the tee. Make sure the tee is on the wrong side. You want right sides facing each other.
• Sew the sleeve onto the armhole.
• You can hem the sleeves or leave it with a raw edge. I felt like the sleeves were too long so I shortened them.

Do you have a top with leather sleeves? What pieces with leather accents do you have?
