Notes	They came out too long and too large. I double-checked the measurements I put in when I purchased the pattern. They are correct. I had to adjust the back part of the crotch ( I scooped in 0.5 cm) and the lenght of the crotch at the back (shortened 2cm). I also took in 1 cm at each back dart and 2 cm at each side seam at the waist and hips. The inseams are a bit longer than the side seams now. That's what happens when you start adjusting here and there. Now I have hard time dealing with the 12 cm hem. I don't want to trim because linen shrinks, even if it was prewashed. First picture shows the wrong crotch seam. I'll keep you posted.
