Frank Barrel leg High waisted Jeans
I searched long and hard for a barrel leg pattern that had darts at the knee rather than a curved side seam. This pattern did not disappoint! The instructions were clear and easy to follow. I took a risk and cut my 'good fabric' without doing a toile and my jeans turned out great! I did take the advice to baste first to test the fit and this worked well. I also love that because of the way this pattern is drafted, I can try out a variety of different jeans styles.
