Straight leg duck foot
I think I have straight legs but duck feet, so I failed to take this into account as a figuration. How should I alter the draft to account for this?
Thank you!

Well add a large inlay on 1" on front and back - then quickly machine the 4 pieces together with a loose long stitch on your machine [with basting thread if you have it] press the center crease and then try them on before you do any more work to them. I made about 4 pairs of trousers when I started that had "spiral legs" the outside seam twisted in - it turned out the length of one pattern piece was 1/2" longer than the other. I was matching bottom middle and top notches and then pulling to get them to lie flat - when released this was creating a twist in the leg.
So just be careful this is not happening.
