After much contemplation...and a quasi-nap, I finally discovered what the issue was. The pattern took for granted that I would know to evaluate how I sewed the inside seam.
What helped me figure out the real issue was...once I had the inner leg seam sewn, I "tried-on" the culottes. Never in my wildest dreams would I believe for a second that "I tried-on culottes" would be found on my blog... This is more of a nightmare-ish statement. I prefer gauchos (pronounced "Gah-ow-choses"). Knit gauchos. They are comfy and fabulous.
Anywho...once I tried these on, I saw the issue. Thankfully I have a serger (shout out to my brother -- Best Brother in the World -- who gave me a JoAnn's gift card for my birthday and I used it for a major portion of the serger) and was able to turn re-stitch the seam the correct way. Honestly - I think it was totally a guess on how I fixed them...so when I sew the other two pairs, I will "try them on" and figure out what needs to be adjusted.
Tomorrow Miss Aud will come by and see how her new camp apparel fits. Hopefully like a glove. Well, technically - hopefully like culottes. :)
