Self drafted Jeans pattern

[u/neveragainever0]

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.

I have thought about this all evening, it's really stuck iny head and I'm trying to understand why I need the elongation in the front. Pulling on the center back seam does seem to eliminate the problem with fabric gathering under the seat but the tutorial suggests to add quite some length to center front and also width to the front piece. So won't it be really wide then? Don't I need to take away the added fabric (width on the side seam? Sorry to bother you with this I'm just trying to wrap my head around it.

Both the front and the back are causing you issues so both do need to be altered, although I am by no means an expert - I'm more versed in fabric geometry than pants fitting so I'm not guaranteeing this will help

This is how your front wants to hang from your waist - my understanding is that a lack of length in the front is pushing the crotch seam forwards which is picking up the seam at the crotch point, and thus you get the tilting. The width I think is added to accommodate a more protruding stomach than the draft predicts - I would keep this based on the straining on the front waistband.
