This past Sunday at the San Diego County Fair, in Del Mar, California, wearing my second version of Butterick 5645, with the "cold shoulder" style. I used a rayon woven (from emmaonesock.com) instead of a knit as recommended and it worked out fine. There was still some extra ease even after using a rayon. I also extended the shoulder seams an inch to reduce slippage at the shoulders. I stitched the sleeve ends closed to prevent the hems from flapping and showing.

Close Encounters of the Eerie Kind at the NASA exhibit at the fair. "We come in peace".
More at the NASA exhibit, Gemini Missions. Astronaut Wally Schirra partook in this mission.
Last Friday at an IKEA buffet event. This was the closest restaurant meal to homeland that my Swedish husband (Heather's dad) would get. I am wearing Butterick 5386, mock wrap style.
Heather likes meatballs and mashed potatoes. Salmon, marzipan cake, and lingonberry juice are my favorites.
This past Father's Day Sunday: Heather's dad enjoyed some honey spiced riblets at Hometown Buffet.
Heather and me, ready for an ice cream dessert. Me wearing a Jalie 2921 scarf top (with a modified side instead of a centered tie)
Last Saturday at the fair after her dance performance: Heather holding up a fried Kool-Aid ball and a fried Oreo ball. After eating one of each and a gulf of diet Pepsi, we felt "stuffed". I wrapped the leftovers in the given paper, stuffed them in my big purse, and we enjoyed the rest of the afternoon...
