Sewing

Last summer, I heard of a really great place called "The Finishing School." They teach children & adults cooking & sewing classes. Emily & Lindsey took a cooking & sewing class with Lindsey's friend, Abi, and they both loved it. They especially loved the sewing class, so they have continued to take a sewing class one day a week. They have made some really cute things - blankets, pillows, ornaments, hot pads, pj bottoms, a skirt, etc. One of Lindsey's recent projects was making a dress for Brooklyn. The example at the school said "Bitty Baby dress." Well, Lindsey thought that meant a little baby dress, but I think it was actually a dress for a Bitty Baby doll.

Anyway, she made it and gave it to Brooklyn. Becky was able to squeeze her in it when she was about 2 1/2 weeks old. Lindsey did a great job and it made her feel good to see the baby in it. It's now waiting for our baby, to wear it once or twice, and then likely be put on an actual Bitty Baby.

That was so sweet of Lindsey to make that for Brooklyn. She looked so cute in it...even though it was hard for her to breath :)
