Fall has most definitely arrived in Colorado, ready or not. I'm sure the dazzling fall days with mild temps that I so love are just around the corner, but in the meantime summer was blown out to be replaced by cold and rain.
While I'm now sewing for fall (like in a hurry), here is my last make of summer: Butterick 6101 made up in a stretch linen which is almost too sheer for this pattern. But when it's hot, it works ;-) 
I made this in a small, though I typically make a medium at least on the sides. The arm holes were not too low, but the neck was super wide--a design feature I think. I actually took it in with tucks a placed small pewter buttons over the tucks. Also, I didn't make the binding as wide as provided, rather doing my usual binding width. 
The little artsy pockets grew on me. I think it's important that the fabric be fluid enough that these don't poke out weirdly.
And here's my little arsty fartsy touch :-) :
With several washes, it's frayed beautifully and become much more subtle than here
So, good-bye summer and hello fall.
Change is good, right?
Right
