Monastic Chasuble Pattern
Monastic Chasuble Pattern
Monastic Chasuble Design: If you are like me, I love patterns. I love to spend hours searching through a pattern book at the local fabric store, or even looking at patterns online. I also like to create my own monastic chasuble patterns with the help of my professional pattern maker, Kimberly for use in making our vestments.
Using a professional pattern maker to help create a pattern is truly a blessing. The original concept is created. Then, the pattern can be placed into a computer program where seams can be trued up so they match perfectly when cutting and sewing. Other benefits of using a pattern maker include working with size ranges and fit. Some items do not fit while others benefit from fit/size adjustments.
An example of this is our new Monastic Chasuble pattern.
Custom Design for Chasuble Pattern
I am so excited about this Church Vestment Pattern! It is beautiful when sewn. The chasuble pattern is a graceful Monastic style chasuble that is wide, full, and long. The pattern is created in several sizes and has things like lengthening and shortening lines for further customization. The pattern has notches for matching seams when sewing. There is a separate pattern piece for the front and back orphrey band as well as a neckline facing piece.
When making this chasuble, I prefer to create a lined vestment. That preference must include a caveat: lined when using brocade and silk fabrics. For those living in warm weather climates, using an unlined wool fabric is much more appealing.
I know, now you are interested in the Chasuble Pattern, after all, one does not see a Monastic Chasuble pattern available for purchase every day of the week. But you may also be thinking, what does it really look like when sewn?
The Monastic Chasuble pattern is lovely! It is a favorite already. The pattern is now live on our Ecclesiastical Sewing website. It comes with basic instructions at the moment. We plan to create a more comprehensive set of instructions when time permits. Thanks again to Kimberly for help with creating this lovely Monastic Chasuble Pattern. It is a joy to work with.

Absolutely gorgeous. I really want this pattern it would be better for the one I have been planning. The fall of the garment is so perfect and would be very comfortable. As we are in warm So. California the fabric will be a cotton. Don’t faint it will be a beautiful material, appropriate and with particular consideration given to the Orpheys. I would especially like one done for St. Pat’s day and also for Laetare Sunday. I will check on the site to order.
Thanks so much.

Hi Lurline,
I am so glad you like the new Monastic Chasuble. It has become my favorite chasuble pattern! The pattern has neckline facing pieces so it will be easy to make as either a lined or unlined chasuble which will be a blessing to many in warm weather climates.
Best regards,
Carrie
