Pattern Block Help!

Hi, i am going to make my own trouser block, however i need to make one that takes into account that i have larger than average thighs and knees! I have looked on you tube and it seems they all just account for slimmer legged ladies which i am not! Would i be best in making one i can find for straight legs and making an adjustment or does anybody know who on you tube i can follow that would cater for my needs pls? Thank you x

Such a good question! I too have larger thighs and knees so would be very interested to hear if anyone has any suggestions?

One of our members in the socials saved up for a 1:1 12 hour trouser fitting workshop which she had a really positive experience with. It was split over two days and I think she now has her own block and was shown how to use it with patterns too.
