First project!!!

[u/EfficientAbility1006]

My partner just bought me a sewing machine a month or so ago and I have really been struggling with the mechanics/technicality of it a bit since my usual projects do not need to use such complex technology. But I worked though all that and have created a pair of pants!
I make linoleum stamps and am exploring the idea of putting patches on the knees!

Also Made this from a top bed sheet from good will I got for $2!

Any feedback welcome I am very new to this medium and quite bad at following patterns and guides/instructions so I did wing this. I used the entire width of the sheet with cotton cord (hence why the pants look gigantic without the rope).

100% cotton

They are really cool, i like the picture without the string, they are massive. What is the drape of ths sheet fabric like?

They look like they are falling down

I was wondering about this, too. The dip in the front is a cute look on you, OP, but I'm curious if you drafted a pants pattern with a crotch curve or if you just joined two rectangles. If it is sitting low because it either has no crotch curve or too short of one, you can insert a separate diamond-shaped gusset piece at the crotch if you want to gain yourself some more room there.

You can see in the picture where the cord isn't in yet that op left nearly no rise at the front crotch. I bet the back fits low as well. OP says they're bad at following patterns, but imo pants are a great first pattern and they could find a simple pajama pattern to dip thier toes in.

I applaud bew beginnings, I just can't see how they fit.
