Add the length of an additional repeat for matching or coordinating the pattern at the shoulders. Measuring from the shoulder seam, measure the length of the front and the length of the back add these two numbers together and add 4 seam allowances. If this project appeals to you, here’s a good way to figure yardage: Get hold of your priest and get them to show you their favorite chasuble – you’ll use it for your pattern. I’m suggesting the discipline of the design and construction of these two vestment sets, now as we look toward an early Ash Wednesday. The removal of the brilliant red vestments and the taking on of the Holy Week vestments would be an eloquent liturgical statement. While brilliant vestments are appropriate at the beginning of the service, at the end, we’re stepping into Holy Week and Good Friday.

The good price on the Lichfield is due to a weaver’s error: Correct warp yarn of the wrong color. The good price on the Cloister is due to an inadvertent over-stock. Lichfield – Holy Week red – Usually $60/yard, now $35/yard.īoth are first quality – these are not seconds. These two fabrics are such:Ĭloister – Pentecost red – Usually $40/yard, now $25/yard. I get opportunities to make unusual purchases for you. Perkins fabrics has made Church Linens a good customer for this excellent supplier. Yet, two separate sets of red vestments stretches the vestment budget. Two distinctly different shades of red for two distinctly different seasons. The other is the deep, heavy burgundy of Holy Week.
