Handmade High Waist Quilt Palazzo Pants-Ultra Rare 1940s Flour Sack Rainbow Snowflake

Handmade High Waist Quilt Palazzo Pants-Ultra Rare 1940s Flour Sack Rainbow Snowflake

These pants are made from a vintage snowflake quilt. When it was found, it was covered in fabric wear and holes, 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 1940s-1950s. This pant is made from a vintage palazzo pant pattern and features a super wide leg and elastic waist band to fit a variety of sizes. It also has inseam pockets for maximum comfort and utility.
