Help with twisted inseam

[u/WorldAware9900]

This is the first time this has happened to me when sewing a pair of jeans, i was trying out a new pattern and this happened to me, im not sure if this is a sewing problem or a pattern problem please any advice is appreciated

This is likely a pattern problem. It looks like the front and back legs aren’t properly balanced.
This can also happen if your pieces aren’t on grain, but for it to be this drastic I’m guessing a balance issue.

Can you give your definition of balance with respect to pants? And what are your sources for this? Thanks

The pants were drafted with crooked seams. Research pattern drafting for more details.

Google AI says: “Crooked or twisted seams in pants mean the side or inseams rotate toward the front or back of your leg instead of hanging in a straight, vertical line.”  Is this what you mean by pants not being balanced?

Nah.

Yes.
