    So, I have a pair of pants that look like they’ve been made from an older quilt (I suspect 1930s-ish given the fabric). The pants are homesewn and have “older” fasteners (metal zip and hook and eyes), but because of the nature and placement of these fasteners (zipper rather than buttons, and at the back waist rather than side seam), I suspect these pants were made in the 1970s, maybe late 1960s? They are fully lined with a soft, cotton material. Let me know your thoughts!

    Aren't they wonderful! I agree with 1970s, the high waist and leg shape fits, and there was a lot of that kind of crafting going on in that era.
