I have this lovely piece of black and white fabric with polka dots in my stash that I bought to make a cute pair of pants for my little girl. She is 3 years old and loves climbing and riding bikes and a real little wiggle worm.
The pattern is easy enough to draft yourself as the front and back panels are cut out on fold and there's only the 2 side seams and one long curvy seam in the middle.

OK, so the trick to get the fit right is inserting a gusset in the crotch area , which is easy enough to draft and insert as well.
With the gusset in place, extra space is created over the crotch area. You know, for bending over and climbing up playground equipment.
The gusset is a oval shape and shown here. I've taken the picture before doing the overlock seam finish.
Final steps are the elastic waistband and the bottom leg seams which I have folded outwards.
