Wrap Pants!
Cassin:
I know that. But it seems to me like doing it the way he tutorial says will make the edges of the back meet in the front and overlap with themselves there, while the front does the same thing in the back. The goal is to have a hefty does of overlap between the front and back sections, but not that much. Right?

Hi, first THANK YOU so very very much for posting in an old thread instead of making a new thread about this! You are awesome! I'm hoping to help you out just a little bit more here.
I found a pair of pants that seem like they were made with the tutorial you're thinking about using. Here they are:
See how the more yellow green is the back panel? They wrap the WHOLE way around the waist and touch in the front, but still fall away from the center line of the leg to the side. So have faith in the tutorial, the pants should come out fine. Remember to measure twice before you cut your fabric though, and worse come to worst you can put darts into the waist. Here's a tutorial on how to do darts if you need it :http://whatthecraft.com/technique-tutorial-darts/#more-1041
Good luck!

OK, thanks. I think the biggest problem I was having was a significant disconnect between the design she was demonstrating and the pattern she was modeling. And some confusion between waist and hip measurements. When Metsa said that she wanted wrap pants, she was looking at the picture at the top of the tutorial. So I'm gonna eyeball it a bit and cut the rectangles to just a bit under her hip measurement.

I just tore out two squares of paper while I was waiting for one of my classes to start. If I had a sewing machine, I think I could probably do this myself. lol

That is how it finally made sense for me too, two sheets of paper, cut the "U" shape and tape over the cut part then open up the rest the paper and you see that each rectangle only covers one leg not a front and back but two legs. So each piece gets a chunk cut out of it and then has to go from the centerline of the body to the outside and overlap enough to cover up the leg and lower body.
