Tutorial: Add leather and denim patchwork knees to your jeans

Sylvia from Dare to DIY shares a video tutorial showing how to add cool leather and denim patchwork to the knees of a pair of jeans. (I have a pair of skinnies I snagged from Goodwill a few weeks ago that are screaming to have this done!) Her video is in Spanish, but she demonstrates the process well enough that you don’t really need to understand the words to see how to do it. Go to Dare to DIY to see her video tutorial.
