Handmade High Waist Quilt Palazzo Pants-Rare 1940s Tulip

Handmade High Waist Quilt Palazzo Pants-Rare 1940s Tulip

These pants are made from a vintage Tulip Applique Quilt. When it was found, it had lots of tears and seam separations, so why not use the good parts for pants:) There is a light 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 194-1950s. This pant is made from a vintage palazzo pant pattern and features a wide leg, high waist, inseam pockets, and elastic waist band to fit a variety of sizes
