Black Chalice Veil in Fairford with Wakefield in Black/Gold for orphrey trim

Black and Gold Vestments: Making a Chalice Veil

Making the Chalice Veil – a simple item to make is a chalice veil. The dimensions of the chalice veil can vary.  The size used for my church is 24″ square. To keep the project simple, a plain fabric can be selected, But for now lets take a look pattern designs in the Fairford, there are two main motifs: the Pineapple and the Ogee.  The pineapple motif was selected as the central motif on this chalice veil. The two crossed pins mark the center of the pineapple. The pattern design in Fairford makes it easy to match the same motif point to obtain straight and even lines for cutting.
