The basics of the tutorial are -
1.  Ditch drafting from scratch and start with half the fitting work done already by using a straight skirt pattern that fits perfectly.


2.  After converting the skirt pattern into a preparatory pattern for trousers/pants which you will then do the fitting work on.


3.  Once the fitting work is done you make a clean copy of the adjusted prep pattern to create your personal basic trouser/pants block.


4.  The personalised trouser block is for a straight leg fit with no styling.  It is a fitted template (for wovens) from which you can create different pants style patterns eg. tailored, straight leg, crops, shorts, jeans cut, etc.

Going to have a go at this. The Natalie Bray trouser block is based on the standard skirt block, but the drafting is much more complicated than this.

Thanks for the link.
