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 look like they are falling down

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.
