Sounds wonderful! I'm hoping to make a visit to

Ah, yes. Historical Reno. ;-)

Well, you do still have that Harrah's(sp?) museum, doncha?
http://www.automuseum.org/ That's pretty historical...

My DH always wanted to see that. We settled for the automotive
museum in LA. "Petersen's" I think. http://www.petersen.org/

I've never seen a waistband in which it was *possible* to cut
something upside down.

But then I tend to ignore waistband instructions and just tear off a
straight strip the way my older sister taught me in 1950.

I've got several different ways of attaching the straight strip
nowadays, though. I may have used non-woven interfacing once, but I
greatly prefer self-fabric interfacings whenever possible --
self-fabric never puckers when washed, and can be ironed flat when it
gets creased.

It would certainly be possible with a *contoured* waistband,
especially if there was a nap or one-way design to the fabric.
But I think OP is a man, so that was probably not the problem,
unless he was sewing for a female friend/relative....

I can't count the times DS and I went to Peterson's Museum in LA, in the
some 18 months after I retired and moved to Torrance, to live with him.
Then, what happened? He was transferred to Houston.

Another fun automobile museum is the one we went to in San Diego:
http://www.sdautomuseum.org/ In Balboa Park, near the Aerospace
Museum, which was also *very* interesting.
http://www.aerospacemuseum.org/collections/

'Course, we have the "Spruce Goose" right here in OR.

NAYY,

We did the Aerospace museum in SD a lot. Car museum a couple of times
but they opened after we moved away.
That spruce goose was So Cal's a long time before it went to OR.
My dad lived in Long Beach and actually saw the flight it made.
Must have been awesome.

I toured the Spruce Goose in Long Beach Harbor(?), along with the
Queen Mary, in about 1986, .

It was quite amazing when the little town of McMinnville was able
to swing the deal to have the Flying Boat moved here, and
impressive to see its parts being towed up the highway. My DH
and I took our grandson to the Evergreen Aviation Museum in 2000.
Quite a nice display then, and probably better now, but I haven't
been back.

I think I had marked it upside down, where it would be buttoning from
the opposite side rather than the side it normally would.
