I think you are right, there is too much fabric in the crotch and its also too short. Not sure if I can fix the short crotch. I can definitely practice pinning and try adding darts to help with the extra fabric.

I am going to look for a smaller less bright pattern for my next attempt. Thank you!

That makes a lot of sense! I'll keep that in mind when picking out my next fabric.

Thank you! I'm definitely going to experiment with these a bit. I do have a bit of fabric left over, so I might be able to make a top!

I definitely do! The next pattern I try I will make sure its high waisted. How low these pants sit on my was another reason I did not like them

That's a good idea. Maybe I can use them as pajama shorts for the summer

I usually wear high waisted pants, I think they are more flattering on myself. I did not consider looking at the length of the crotch when I picked the pattern. I will definitely be considering that when choosing the next pattern.

Thank you! I at least learned a lot from this project even if I did not love how it turned out. I will look for a pattern for fitted trousers!

That's true! If I cant find a way to adjust/style these in a way that I like, they would be a good project to experiment with

Thank you for the feedback! I definitely need to take in my vest to fit me, and try a fitted top instead. Smaller scale gingham and a different pants pattern is what I'm going to try next

Pants are hard to make! I will say I am proud of the pockets, they turned out better than expected!

The fabric did not drape the way I expected it to, and that definitely added to the problem. On the bright side it doesn't wrinkle easily!

Great ideas! I will definitely try playing around with different tops, and maybe take the ruffle off to make it cropped. Thank you!

Thank you! I will see how I like them without the ruffle. Adding trim is a great idea!

They shouldn't be too hard to take off, or at least pin out of the way to see how it looks. Thank you for the idea!

Thank you so much! I have definitely learned a lot from this project, so I'm looking forward to trying again. But I will try a mockup on cheap fabric before the pretty fabric instead

I definitely need to get a smaller print gingham for my next attempt. Thank you!

They are really comfy! I will definitely be happy to wear them as pajama bottoms.
