DIY Ribbed velvet trousers

In an effort to get rid of old fabric that's been collecting dust, I've made a ton of separates this month. When I pulled out this ribbed velvet I picked up from Joann's two years ago, I figured the only thing to be done with this is a pair of pants. These pants were made using this McCalls M6404 pattern view A with the following pattern alterations:

-Removed the knee riding insert
-Added 4" to the length
-Added a 9" side zipper
-Added a 3" band at the ankle
-Added a 9" zipper at the ankle
-Added a 2.5" waist band
