Notizen Before even sewing I could see that the crotch curve wasn't going to be ideal on me - it was too long by about 1.5 inches. I shortened the back crotch extension by that amount, and otherwise stitched up as received, cropping the pieces for a 9 inch inseam. I am pretty pleased with the fit, but will shorten the front and back rise by a full inch to drop the waist down to allow for room to have a waist band attach to shorts.. What is in these images is fabric from an old bed sheet just so I could see if the pattern would fit. Also I will remove another 1/2 inch (total) from the waist, a tiny bit of the curviness in the hips (I am not very curvy there) and add a 1.5 inch hemline. Not sure about adding in the in-seam pockets, I may do that but close them with a zipper, or possibly add angled welt pockets (front) and horizontal welt pockets (back) instead.

    I would recommend going to the internet and getting information on 2 very important measurements for getting crotch fit right: Crotch Height and Crotch Depth; depth being the one people aren't often aware of. Otherwise, it looks like the finished product is going to be nice!

    That's already looking good. As you will now know with many Lekala patterns we have to make adjustments but if we are handy we can eventually get a good pattern.
