Hi:
I’m just about done working on my test pants. The grain lines are hanging straight. The side seams are perpendicular to the floor.
I’ve noticed at both inseams at the R+L back hem (unfinished hem–I cut the hem allowance off–the unfinished edge skims the top of my foot) there is a wedge of fabric curling forward. The widest part of the wedge is at the bottom of the inseam. It’s 1-1.5 inches wide. The narrowest part of the wedge is about 10″ to 12″ up the inseam. (Meaning the wedge of fabric disappears at that point. ) Does this mean therr is too much fabric along the R+L back inseams? Not enough fabric at the R+L front inseams?
Help!
Thanks,
Anne

Were you going for tapered-leg pants but using a straight-leg or flared-leg pattern?
I determined with all the adjusting I did, coupled with the fabric added at the side seams, both back grain lines are off!
Thanks,
Anne
