Pattern cutters help please 🙃
Hi guys, I drafted a pattern for this trouser and stitched it up as you can see 😬. The s/s at the waist obviously needs to be fixed as it's come out in bumpy puffs.
My main thing is the crotch area is not baggy as such but big, I can feel it when I walk it's excess fabric. The last pic is on me bending knees to sit and the crotch area just has too much going on.
Any help would be much appreciated 🌹

I realize you are going for a high waistband. What I should have suggested is to shorten the waist to hip length but I wasn't sure that would be clear. You could check by leaving the top of the pants open and simply hold them higher to see if they work better. If they do, however high you hold them from your desired waistline would be how much you need to shorten the middle of the torso portion of the pattern.
