Any additional comments

Instead of remaking the pattern for each length that I would like to make, I simply cut the width of fabric to the finished cut length that I need. Then I align the pattern with the top of the waistband and cut it out extending the leg length with my ruler to the bottom edge.

***UPDATE*** Against my better judgment (I knew that there was no difference between front and back rises), I bought the ADULT version of this pattern hoping for some super-easy PJ pants for gifts. I can't recommend it at all. Although the kids' version has no problem without a rise difference on my small, bottom-less children, the adult version is really uncomfortable and neither dh nor I liked it. I then went through my RTW PJs and realize that all of my least-faves have the same rise issues. You'd have to make it super-baggy to overcome this. So, I still like the child's versions for super-quick pants, but I would advise against the adult one.
