tourist said... I made this pattern and changed the drawstring to an elastic waist. There is no difference between the back waist length and the front waist length, so DH found they always felt like they were on backwards. In the 2nd pair, I added 3" to the back waist, tapering to nothing at the side seams, and he finds them more comfortable. 10/31/07 10:42 AM

Tourist, I will try that solution next time! I plan to make another pair soon. 11/1/07 5:36 PM
