Handmade High Waist Quilt Palazzo Pants- Ultra Rare 1901 Grandmother’s Fan

Handmade High Waist Quilt Palazzo Pants- Ultra Rare 1901 Grandmother’s Fan

These pants are made from an Antique Grandmothers Fan Quilt, I have added a trim from an 1880s Velvet Crazy Quilt to give this more of a full leg.  I would say this a light weight quilt, as it is set on to an interfacing of calico and feed sacks on the inside, with no batting. Judging by the fabric, embroidery, and style, and the embroidery of 1901.l, I would say this is from the late 1800s and finished in 1901. This pant is made from a vintage palazzo pant pattern and features a wide leg, high waist, and elastic waist band to fit a variety of sizes. It also has inseam pockets for maximum comfort and utility :)
