Handmade High Waist Palazzo Quilt Pants- 50s Gingham Checkered

Handmade High Waist Palazzo Quilt  Pants- 50s Gingham Checkered

These pants are made from a vintage quilt. When it was found, one entire side was torn and full of wear spots, so why no use the good parts to make pants :) There is a light cotton layer of batting between the front and back, so I would say this is a light to medium weight quilt. This piece is all hand stitched and judging by the style and fabric, 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
