About the Eileen Barrel Pants
The Eileen Barrel Pants are a quick-to-sew elastic waist pant with a slight barrel leg shape.
With a faux-fly, and a dropped crotch, the relaxed silhouette is loose through the hip and thigh, with back darts reducing waist bulk (our first elastic-waist pants with back darts)!
The Eileen hit around the ankle (a length we find easiest for styling and pairing with shoes), and there are generously sized back and front patch pockets.
The Eileen are perfect sewn up in a mid-weight fabric to show off the subtle leg shaping.
Fabrics for your Eileen
The Eileen Barrel Pants are designed for use with a variety of medium to heavy-weight woven
fabrics.
Cotton twill/drill, lightweight denim, lightweight canvas, heavyweight linen, are all suitable for this pattern.
Due to the elastic waistband, keep in mind that very thick or bulky fabrics might not be a good choice for this pattern if it will cause difficulties with your elastic.
Above, I'm wearing creamy 10oz herringbone denim, and medium-weight stretch cotton camo Eileen. Below, Leila wears black medium/heavy-weight herringbone twill and blue medium-weight washed cotton twill.
