You sew deeper into the fabric lower down towards the knees. I wish I could find a picture for you. Starting below your current crotch stitching line at the inseam, sew the crotch seam again half an inch lower than where it currently is. Rejoin the original back crotch seam about 1/3 of the way up. This adjustment allows more fabric to cover the derriere. You could try basting this in to see how it changes the fit. I suspect that you might need to also let out the side seams. Yes it is a total pain to unpick top stitching and all that but maybe if you let out the side seams below the waistband you'd have a great pair of pants with lovely welt pockets. Fitting pants is a lot of trial and error.BeccaAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05839761273520524641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2624632908706778151.post-65324006214922554742012-03-09T15:44:34.797-06:002012-03-09T15:44:34.797-06:00What a bummer they don't fit!
