use a Connie Crawford pattern. I tried a Connie Crawford before and didn't like anything about it. The proportions were terrible. Too big in the waist and hips, and sharply tapered down to the ankle. It looked like she was trying to design skinny jeans for someone with very wide hips. Not a good look.
Knowing this about the last pattern I thought I better make a muslin to see if it was worth it. Actually they don't look to bad. I can add a little length and make them into pants or I can shorten them for capris.
It looks like I need to do a knock knee adjustment and figure what to do with the waist. As you can see I need to remove some of the extra fabric in the front waist and you can't really see it in the back, but there's some that needs to come off there too. I haven't figured out how to do this and still keep the drawstring casing in tact, or if I should put some darts in put in a zipper fly. I really want to try and avoid darts if I can. So I'm kind of stuck at this point.
