Outfit thoughts; I have spent the day alternately feeling too hot and then too cold in this skirt. Something about faux leather does that, I think, and particularly because I followed the pattern and made the waistband to be a one-piece fold-over, and thus have the leather to the inside, as the inner waistband facing as well. Now I'm wise as to how faux leather feels against the skin (kinda yucky) I'm thinking of altering this so it has a fabric waistband facing ... at some mythical point in the future when I don't have any other sewing plans. HAHAHA!! Oh dear.... no other sewing plans. I crack myself up sometimes.

If you're wondering where my usual photo companion is? well she is here, but not right here. She's just out of the frame today :)
He can wear a shirt a few days in a row you see, since he changes to spend most of his day in scrubs. This is a huge bonus to the laundry-maid of the house.
