Homemade ski pants

[MoneyMakerMike]

I believe [tag=261529]@skeirman[/tag] requested pics of my homemade snow pants so here it is. These pants took around 4 hours of sewing and another hour of planning and drawing the pattern. Cost around 60 bucks to make.









The pants have two layers. The inner layer is nylon ripstop. I chose this material because it’s lightweight and waterproof. The outer layer is a durable material I found at hobby lobby. The material feels a lot like carhartt or Dickies pants. It’s not super waterproof so I got some spray for them and they have been fine. I’ve worn them while it’s been raining and stayed dry.

The features I implemented into the pants include cinching cuffs, reinforced ankles. Crotch vents, a zip pocket, and belt loops. So far they are my favorite pants I’ve owned . If anyone has questions feel free to ask!

(the pants pictured are actually a pair I made for a friend but mine are the exact same, but I’m currently adding a yellow cargo pocket to mine so I just used these pics)

Dude those look hype! I been getting into sewing a lil bit, just to make hats and mitts, and I think I might try to make myself a whole kit for next season. Not sure if you can just buy goretex by the yard so I might have to recycle some other outerwear.

yoooo that’s fucking sick man. start selling them on here

Dude well done, sick to see so many people start sewing sick shit.

To the person asking about Gore by the yard, some (good) fabric stores will have it in the Outdoor Material section. Otherwise you can find it online. Seattle Fabrics is a good online place to start.

Hell yeah! In 4 sewing ski spants is the new crotchet beanie.

Always cool to make your own shit.

Did you use a pattern or did you make all of the measurements?

Did you use a pattern or did you make all of the measurements?

I drew up my own pattern, but I based it off of a pair of thrifted pants with a 46 inch waist I got. I just modified it so the waist was smaller and so it tapered at the cuffs a bit more.
