But not "those" pants. I got distracted by another barrel leg pants pattern. This one is free! And it's another new-to-me pattern source - Unfettered Patterns.
The website has a variety of confusing click-bait buttons. Like the "free PDF" button in the image above. That is NOT the download link.
Stash diving revealed a length of navy blue cotton (?) - maybe it's a blend. It's nice and drapy and not totally rigid. So I figure it will cover for a variety of possible fitting snafus. If it works out I may make several pairs including one for summer hikes/walks in the woods.
For future reference, I have cut size S/M based on my hip measurement. However, based on some comments including one that mentioned these were low rise, I added some extra fabric insurance in the form of 1.2 cm in the rise on all pieces and an extra cm along the vertical leg seams. I also cut size M on the inner leg on both front and back. I can always sew out this extra fabric!
Thanks for the comments on my last post! I want to resurrect my blog via shorter and less detailed posts (not so daunting) because other platforms have become such a swamp of ads and AI nonsense. If you leave a comment, I'd love it if you included your name because so many comments just show up as "anonymous" and I feel like I know so many of my readers.
