I sewed this crotch together after the leg seams. In the jeans, I sewed the crotch seems, then joined the inner leg seams. I thought that might be my problem, but it didn't fix them.It might look like my crotch seam is tilted, but the picture is tilted. My waist is lower in front than back. You have to tip your head to the right to see it correctly.
I'm pretty sure I need more fabric somewhere, but I don't know where. Now that I get a good look at the pcitures, I think I need to add fabric to the inseam of the legs at the crotch. I suspect that in order to accommodate my large hips, I'm going to have to deal with baggy thighs.
It's such nice fabric, too. It's a rayon blend of some sort that I bought at Patricia's Fabric House in East Rochester. I bought it a few years ago. I grew up there and used to walk to the local grocery store to buy fabric to fill my time with sewing in the summer. Yup, I bought fabric at the grocery store. For you locals, it was a Wegman's. Of course, they didn't carry any good fashion fabric, so I made do. When I was about 22 I moved away, and Patricia's must have gone in while I was pulling the car out of the driveway. Twenty years later, they are still there. I lived in ER in the wrong era. When I first moved back to Rochester, my mother-in-law still lived in ER, so I got out there once in awhile and always stopped at Patricia's. I haven't been there since she died. Too far now.
Thank goodness I have some summer skirts planned. Then I don't have to deal with fitting!
