There was a variety of activities this week. I went to my grand-nephew's first birthday party. His name is Chase, and he is a wonderful little boy.

Joe, Max, and I rode up to look at fall colors with Larry and his wife Karen. Hope Valley is only an hour from where we live. It is always a pretty place. We like to camp there. However, this day it was just for a picnic and picture taking.

I also finished my Simplicity 7330 shirt. I really like this pattern. There is no hand sewing and the collar is quite simple. It looks 50s or 60s retro, even though the pattern is from 1991.
I like this pattern so much, I am going to make a shirt for Joe with it as my next project.

Thanks for stopping.
I love buying fabric at thrift stores. In my area the fabric is just bundled with a rubber band & priced. A friend told me a yard is roughly the distance from your nose to the bent fingers on your outstretched hand. So I open the fabric & measure it that way. The only thing I don't like about thrift store fabric is that you have no way of knowing whether certain fabrics are 100% cotton or a cotton/polyester blend.
