Greetings: I made my first pair of City Trousers and wore them everyday for a two week road trip. I’m very happy with them, and I would like to tweak them so that they sit at my true waist. I found that when I was driving, they were slightly too short in the back and the waist pulled uncomfortably across the front. How would I make this adjustment? I just bought fabric to make a 2nd pair and would like to work with the pattern again . . . pls advise and thanks so much. I have been happy with every pattern of yours that I’ve made!
