The Oh So Comfortable Sack Dress...

Many many months ago I bought this pattern and last week I decided that it was finally time to actually attempt making this dress. It has no zippers and no buttonholes and it was really easy to put together. I see now that I forgot to make a picture of the whole back, but that one is the same flowery fabric as the front. 

It is comfortable too, but it does look a bit like a sack I must admit... <wink>  Oh well, I'm wearing it today and I'll give it a bit of time to see what I think of it.

In completely other news I had quite the indoors adventure yesterday while sewing this dress. The weather was very nice so I had the sliding screen door closed instead of the regular door. Olive (our chocolate lab) can use her nose to open it to get back inside and had apparently done so while I was so busy sewing that I didn't notice it and left it open. A while later I heard a very loud buzzing noise inside so I thought it was maybe a trapped bee or something like that. But no, it was a Hummingbird going absolutely bonkers trying to get out through the window!

I was trying to gently persuade it to leave the window and fly towards the door but it wouldn't budge. Instead it actually got its beak stuck in between the two windows! Panic from all sides ensued!  I couldn't catch it by hand either since it had maneuvered itself in a very awkward position. In the end I used my colander (= 'zeef' in Dutch) and lo and behold the bird decided to sit on the edge and that way I gently moved it towards the door and ZOEF!, off it went!

My word, I think my heart was racing as fast as his!
