Have been sewing the pants I cut out on Sunday. Style Arc Sailor Sue Palazzo Pant
https://www.stylearc.com/shop/pdf-sewing-patterns/sailor-sue-palazzo-pant-pdf/. It's one of their older ones and it's actually a paper pattern although it is now available as a PDF. I was concerned that they might be too wide or flared but not the case.
As it is an old pattern of theirs, there are few measurements apart from hem width so having measured crotch and as usual found it to be too short for me I added 2" to the top all round.
I also used a different method for altering the crotch length at back that I came across last summer. I used it on a toile for some woven pants and it worked so tried it here and it seems to have done the trick.

I did some seaming yesterday to check before overlocking. I'm using some dark navy heavy ponte from my stash (2019 so my Emma One Sock fabric account says!) and I have only the hems to do which I will coverstitch but I'll leave for another day as the daylight is going especially at the front of the house where I am.
I'm copying a pair of RTW that I love so instead of a slot in elastic I overlocked (without cutting any off the elastic!) edge of elastic to wrong side top edge of pant then folded over and machined vertically at the 4 seam points. If I say so myself I'm really pleased with the result. I think I have a length of black ponte so I may make another pair. You could also add an ordinary waist band if you wanted to.
