Pants adjustments

Making pants (real slacks that fit correctly) are among my least favorite things to sew. Especially since if I'm fitting them on me, I have to talk dh into helping, which he will do, but doesn't understand fit or sewing, so I have to talk him through it.

I've gained a lot of weight over the past 6 years, and I'm in the process of losing it, so my clothes, in general, don't fit well. I decided to make myself a nice fitted pair of slacks, get the muslin done, and then use it to make a few pair that will work until I lose more weight and they just look terrible.

So I adjusted the pattern accordingly, got 'em all basted up - front crotch too high, had to take out, pull in darts a little better...works! But...my butt seems to have grown. Even with them finished (as of last night), I can't wear them because my butt is bigger and they're too tight.

~sigh~
