Handmade High Waist Quilt Palazzo Pants- 1970s 8 Point Star

Handmade High Waist Quilt Palazzo Pants-Rare 1970s 8 Point Star

These pants are made from a vintage 8 point star quilt. When it was found, it had lots of fabric separations, 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 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 :)
