Second, the pants are too big. If you've ever seen the movie "Undercover Brother", he had a pair of parachute pants that he used when jumping off a cliff. That's what these pants remind me of.

I'm not a tailor so alterations are not a part of my sewing skills yet. Going to have to look for something real easy with less material for my February project. Trying not too get to disappointed.

I used to have the same problem with pants because I am apple shaped and my legs are a lot thinner than my stomach. What I do is purchase or cut the pattern a few sizes smaller than my waist size and grade the stomach up. You can see the process here if you are interested.
