BlankCan anyone tell me how to shorten the crotch depth on a pair of sweat pants without going from the top down? Is there a way to do ? I've done it from the top down many times but these pants have a sport waistband (stitched 4 times) and also pockets , which would be a real hassell to move ! Any ideas would be appreciated! Thank you.

Bonnie, to shorten the crotch depth (not an ideal solution): taper the inner leg, up across the crotch seam, down the other inseam. Make sure you don't alter this through the actual crotch, scooping the seat out, as this will further add to crotch depth. Shortening from the waist usually gives better end results, pardon the pun.
