not only was the weather beautiful this weekend, but i also got a lot done. i worked on said friend's wedding gown, scrubbed the apartment, and finally set up a respectable work area for myself by paul's various musical equipments. as sparse as it seems, there was lots of moving and shaking of fists to get it that way. inspiration will be added gradually... 
and finally i finished the "leather" jacket re-construction and i'm quite pleased with the results. i use quotations because while working on the thing, i kept getting whiffs of what i think is the sickeningly sweet smell of old PVC. though the jacket may have belonged to a clove-smoker. i usually never have a problem determining real leather... regardless, i love the thing (it was FIVE DOLLARS on ebay) and was prancing around in it last night. the trickiest part was getting the shoulders to hit just right. there's an awkward pleat that runs from the pocket up to where the old shoulder lived, so there's a little extra fabric. more studs must be ordered so that the collar is completely covered, but for now i like the 2 rows. i may have to stop there.
