DIY Fisherman Pants

This is actually my 2nd sewing project ever. haha. My first one was my lunch bag way back in highschool. I think I may have sold it at some garage sale Mr. Snuggles and I join each quarter.

My mom was great with anything that has to do with a sewing machine. Come to think of it, she's really good with so many things. I wish she was here so she can help me fill this blog with creative ideas.

Anyway, with my mom as my inspiration, I tried making my own fisherman pants. It looked real easy to make and I like how raw and natural it looks when worn. For my pants, I used flour bags which I got from our local bakery. They sell it at P5 per bag. I still think it's overpriced because they're going to throw it like garbage anyway and they might as well give it for free to people who'd use the bags. I used 3 bags and I'm pretty happy with the results. I used this pattern below from Mediatinker. Next time I'll dye or maybe stencil my pants.

For now, it's just plain white.























*I'll update this post when I get to take a photo of me wearing it. I had it washed first so the flour brand label won't be seen as much. I'll be wearing it this Sunday to our family's trip to a pansol.

  1. hey,
    I'm looking to make my own fisherman pants too. But your diagram is extremely hard to see the measurements. Could you help me with this? Shoot me an email, if you get this. evillealbey@gmail.com
