Crazy how a minor alteration can make a big difference! I made these #philippapants (hacked into jeans, but essentially the same pattern) and the denim I used stretched out quite a bit over time. I would have to spritz the jeans with water and then throw them in the dryer after every wear. By the middle of the day they would be baggy again. So I decided to take in at the crotch and thigh area 1/2”. While I was at it, I let out the calf area as much as I could so the seam from calf to hem was only about 1/4”. Scroll through to see the alteration I made marked on the pattern pieces (the black lines are the stitching lines). The last photo shows how they fit before (although it may be hard to see much of a difference). The fit is great now! I wouldn’t do this on my canvas pants, however. Keep in mind denim tends to give a bit more over time while in my experience, canvas does not (and also shrinks more with every wash as well). • Fabric: Japanese stonewash selvedge denim from @fashion_fabrics_club (purchased last year).
