Buy the Buttress Jeans sewing pattern from Allie Olson. The Buttress Jeans are a pair of high-waisted jeans with a front yoke and hidden slit pockets. Inspired by acid wash denim of the early 1980s, this modern take has a clean silhouette and is offered in three leg widths: barrel (View A), straight (View B), and wide (View C).
View A’s barrel leg fit has twisted outseams and an ankle length inseam. Views B and C both have a longer, floor-length inseam. All views include a fly zip, roomy back pockets, and generous seam allowances.
