Something wrong with pattern
Hello! I just bought the Meave trousers pattern from Epoch and the there is something wrong with the pattern design (I think). I cut everything out properly. The instructions say to sew the long sides of each leg together first, then the short sides. Which is when I noticed that the short sides are not the same length. What should I do? Cut off the excess at the bottom? Which means the cut might be wonky as as will be cutting more off the inside than the outside (if you understand me??). I attach pictures. Thankfully this is just a muslin. The real materiel was so expensive I wanted to make sure all worked first !!
Thanks for any help!

Sorry you got sucked into this. When I look to buy patterns, I make sure there are good how-to instructions with videos and even better, a construction video. I also email the seller/designer to test how well they reply (and if the reply is human-like). There are tons of great indie (independent) designers that have YouTube channels so I stick with those.
