Something's wrong with the size....

Alan's shorts on top of the pj shorts I am trying to make...

I am learning how to sew with my new sewing machine from Leslie and Jamie. Although I am a novice, my first attempt at pj pants (which quickly turned into PJ shorts after a rookie mistake), seem a wee bit large. Next time, I think I'll pick the "medium" size guide from the pattern.

So, I am going to "take in" the sides before I work with the elastic in the band. Hopefully, fixing up my mistake won't take that long. Some one-hour pattern! I'm two days deep into this one.
