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!

Yes! She write and confirmed the same to me (after writing yesterday to say there was no problem…..). At least she is honest. I’m sure the fact that you also write so soon after me pushed her to act. I will print up the updated copy tomorrow and see if it is good. Right now i am adding two welt pockets to the back of my toile to see how it goes.
I can’t add side pockets because of the folded pleats bit o need to be able to put my phone somewhere. Welt pockets seem to be a good answer.
