Handmade High Waist Quilt Palazzo Pants-Rare Rare 1940s Checkered Embroidered Flower and Spider Web
Handmade High Waist Quilt Palazzo Pants-Rare Rare 1940s Checkered Embroidered Flower and Spider Web
These pants are made from a Checkered Hand embroidered flower and spiderweb quilt. When it was found, it was covered in holes, so why not use the good parts for pants:) There is a light cotton batting between the two layers, but I would say this a light weight quilt. Judging by the fabric, style, and that it is all hand stitched, I would say this is from the 1930s-1940s. This pant is made from a vintage palazzo pant pattern and features a super wide leg, high waist, and elastic waist band to fit a variety of sizes
