pants advice help please!!!!
Does anyone know of a website that explains how to shorten the crotch on a
pattern for pants. I find when I make pants the crotch is way too low. I tried raising it, but have had no success, and I tried raising the waistband and lengthening the legs but this only works with really simple pants. The best I can do is keep practicing, but advice would be wonderful! Thanks! |

If the crotch is too low the the rise is too high. Lower the waistband
and compensate for this shortening by lengthening the legs Thu, 04 Dec 2003 19:19:01 GMT, "dnmgiordano" wrote: Does anyone know of a website that explains how to shorten the crotch on a pattern for pants.
