How to shorten the Luna Pants Pattern

Hellooo! I’ve got something fun for you today, a quick video to show you how to shorten the Luna Pants pattern.

Luna Pantsalong: How to make the pattern shorter

This is for those of you who might find after making your muslin that the legs are too long or the rise of the pattern is too high for you. I cover adjusting both the legs and the rise in the video, both adjustments that would need to happen if you are petite. Reminder: just because you aren’t petite doesn’t mean it doesn’t apply to you; for example, maybe you’re tall but have a long torso + short legs combo, or maybe you just want a lower (or higher) rise.

One thing I didn’t mention in the video is that doing the opposite of these adjustments will make the pattern taller. Seems obvious…but thought I’d mention that just in case.

Let me know if you have any questions!
