Vintage linens! I find them irresistible. A beautiful red/pink damask tablecloth inspired me to make a pair of Bloomers/ Palazzo Pants. With holes I got it for the bargain price of $2.

I carefully folded and laid out the tablecloth to take advantage of the selvedges and frayed edges. I used a modified Tina Givens Jaqueline pattern.

I then worked on patches for the holes. A vintage quilt top (poorly sewn together) provided some of the patches.

I hand stitched the patches in place, quilting the quilt top pieces as I went. The Easter chicks added a bit of fun.

Loose fitting and quite comfortable, the waist is finished with a t-shirt drawstring in a casing.
The other parts of the outfit include the rayon top, earrings, bracelet, shoes - all purchased from other artists and a thrifted necklace.
Happy upcycling! Michelle
