Handmade High Waist Quilt Palazzo Pants-Ultra Rare 1910s Flour Sack and Calico 16 Birds in Flight
Handmade High Waist Quilt Palazzo Pants-Ultra Rare 1910s Flour Sack and Calico 16 Birds in Flight
These pants are made from an antique Birds in Flight Quilt. There is a batting between the two layers, but I would say this a medium to heavier weight quilt. Judging by the fabric, style, and that it is all hand stitched, I would say this is from the 1910s-1920s. This pant is made from a vintage palazzo pant pattern and features a wide leg, high waist, and elastic waist band to fit a variety of sizes. It also has inseam pockets for maximum comfort and utility :).
