1940 Drunkards Path Star Variation Oversized Fanny Pack

This oversized fanny pack is handmade from a rescued vintage Drunkard’s Path quilt, a historic pattern dating back to the 1800s that saw a major revival in the post–World War II era. Based on the fabric, color palette, and construction, this quilt was likely made in the late 1940s to early 1950s, a time when quilts reflected renewed optimism, creativity, and everyday beauty.
 
The soft aqua cotton, buttery yellow star motifs, and small floral prints are all hallmarks of mid-century textiles, pieced together by hand using curved seams and leftover fabrics. Quilts like this were made to be used and loved, often stitched from what was on hand, making each one a quiet record of family life and skilled craftsmanship.
 
Reimagined into a modern, functional bag, this piece blends history with everyday wearability.
