DIY: More Leather Pockets

The third project in my leather accent series is pockets again. Bigger pockets. I used my oversized cardigan and switched out the pockets. I think Fall is officially here in the Bay Area. The weather was overcast yesterday so I added a scarf to my look. I really only like the Fall season for the layering and styles you can wear. Other than that I. Don't. Like. To. Be. Cold. Seriously. One would think that the Bay Area weather should be a piece of cake compared to the East Coast, where I'm originally from, but cold is cold is cold. Yet, I'm excited that I can pull out the pieces I've been waiting to wear. I've yet to create my fall uniform but cardigans and boots may be my go to for the weekends. Supplies: cardigan leather fabric seam ripper chalk clips sewing machine

• Remove the original pockets from the cardigan with the seam ripper.
• Use the original pocket and place on the leather fabric.
• Trace with the chalk onto the leather.
• Cut out the leather leaving room for seam allowance.
• Fold down the seams about 1/4 inch and use the clips the hold in place.
• Place the pockets onto same area as original pockets.
• Topstitch the leather pockets onto the cardigan using a loose and longer stitch. 

Do you have your fall uniform ready? What piece/pieces will you be wearing repeatedly?
