Handmade High Waist Quilt Palazzo Pants- Ultra Rare 1910s Overshot Checkered

Handmade High Waist Quilt Palazzo Pants- Ultra Rare 1910s Overshot Checkered

These pants are made from an Antique Checkered Quilt. I would say this a medium weight quilt and I believe it’s mostly wool with a flour sack cotton lining, I have let the cute hand tied pieces to give this a fringe vibe, but if they're not your vibe, they can totally but snipped off and it won't affect the pant. Judging by the fabric and style, I believe those floral pieces are antique (1860s-1890s?) hand woven overshot fabric, 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 :).
