Today's sewing for fall are some high-waisted polka-dotted pants. I really do love the look of skinnier pants on girls but when we went back-to-school shopping the "skinny pant" has become a bit too skinny for my taste level...and most of the time when the top of the pants fit, poor Hannie couldn't even get the ankles over her feet...they were wayyyy too tight.
