Railroad Stripe Eileen Barrel Pants

 I'm very behind on the barrel leg pant trend. This is my first pair!

These are the recently released Muna and Broad Eileen Barrel Pants. 

The Eileen Barrel Pants are an elastic waist pant with a slight barrel leg shape. The pants hit at the ankle and have back and front patch pockets, a dropped crotch, and back darts at the waist. 

I chose a size D to correspond with my hip measurement, which worked well. Relaxed fit as intended, I think. 

The pattern comes in sizes A-M, which corresponds to a 41.5"-71.5" (105-181.5cm) hip. Muna and Broad will grade up the pattern if it's too small to include you, too. 

For fabric, the pattern recommends using medium to medium/heavy weight woven fabrics. I chose a lighter weight railroad denim (I think it's this 6 oz Robert Kaufman denim?) from my stash that I think I originally purchased at Brooklyn General many years back. 

The tiny stripes make for some dizzying photos!

I switched up the stripe direction for both sets of patch pockets as well as the waistband. 

I didn't have 1/4” fine cotton tape the pattern calls for to stabilize the front pocket edge, so I just interfaced it. 

I skipped the faux fly. I couldn't be bothered and figured it might get lost in the stripes anyway.

I'm pretty delighted with my Eileen Barrel Pants! It's definitely a subtle barrel, not a super dramatic or exaggerated curve like some of the barrel leg sewing patterns out there. But very wearable!
