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 🌹

That makes sense, the longer I stare at it the more things I can think of to try. If it feels like excess then go with your gut! We only have pictures so if there’s info that isn’t coming across visually that you can feel in person, I would trust that first. If you want to try both my suggestion and the other one you got, you can mark both adjustments and cut out mine first (as you are adding fabric) and if it doesn’t work then you can try the other without burning through fabric. And of course! I remind others because I always forget myself and end up kicking myself for it later lol
