Handmade Super High Waist Quilt Palazzo Pants-Rare 1930s Butterfly

Handmade Super High Waist Quilt Palazzo Pants-Rare 1930s Butterfly

These pants are made from a vintage butterfly applique quilt. When it was found, it was covered in tears, so why not use the good parts for pants:) There is a light batting between the two layers, so 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 1930s-1940s. 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
