For the shorter length pants, I sewed the leg openings much smaller than the pattern. Mine are about 12". I tapered them from the hip to a couple inches below the knee to get them to a length I liked. These are comfortable, but the brown fabric is slightly thinner than the other two. It's still usable though, and very soft.
And yes, at least 3x a week I get in a short workout, though I got lazy this week and skipped workouts. But next week, I'm adding 30 minute walk/jogs on alternating days. Doctor's orders... I need to get exercise. And now I can use normal workout gear instead of jeans.
April was a productive month for workout gear. May (nearly over, but I think I can squeeze in something...) will be either a set of undies, or a new knit top. I found lots of knits for 2.99/yd and am looking forward to making them into some summer tops, but I desperately need to replace some of my shabby undies.
