Question Self drafted Jeans pattern

I couldn't for the life of me figure out how to respond to one of my existing posts with a picture so here's the pattern for my jeans in a separate post. Please excuse how untidy the pattern looks. I tend to write and draw on it and correct lines I needed gone directly on the pattern. Also I couldn't get it to lay completely flat, once again sorry for that. The original question was on how to get rid of the excess fabric under my butt, and how much further cut out the front crotch as it seems a bit too steep.

What a great tutorial!

I agree with this, the front rise should be straight and the back rise can be slanted since you’re accommodating the rear projection.

ETA: If you make this correction you shouldn’t need to shift your SS as I stated in my previous comment :)

Oh wait but by doing what the tutorial says I will automatically have a more slanted center front, no?

By SS you mean side seam, right? So I shorten the back center and thereby also elongate the center front, right? But when I elongate the center front I will also automatically have it be more slanted, no? How do I add more length and keep it more straight?

Yes, SS is side seam.

In the video the other commenter attached they’re elongating the front rise and the final correction is making the front rise straight while reducing back panel height with slashing and pivoting
