The instructor’s pattern for adult wide leg pants simply would not work when you come to hem them – the angle she drew is too steep. Ideally you want seams and hemline to be at right angles for tidy hemming. I appreciate with a knit fabric you can fudge it a little, but I for one would not want to wear pants made from the pattern she drafted, they would look most odd.
