Handmade High Waist Quilt Palazzo Pants- 1960s Checkered

Handmade High Waist Quilt Palazzo Pants- 1960s Checkered

These pants are made from a vintage checkered quilt. When it was found, it was covered in holes on one end, so why not use the good parts for pants:) There is a batting between the two layers, but I would say this a light to medium weight quilt. Judging by the fabric and style I would say this is from the 1960s-1970s. 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

Approx Age: This quilt was probably made in the 1960s-1970s, handmade recently
