A Stole Kit by definition is…

Ecclesiastical Sewing was centered around materials for sewing Ecclesiastical items. We have since been blessed with the ability to make finished vestments and paraments for sale. But we want to make sure we encourage inspiring seamstresses and tailors to use their talents for their churches and clergy. This art form must continue to be passed on and be available for future generations. The best way to begin the journey of ecclesiastical sewing is to make a stole. Instead of buying fabric, canvas, and lining separately, we offer the right amount of all three to create a stole.

The designs and patterns used in the fabrics come from a wide range of sources, which include historical paintings, fabrics, and Frescoes.

Stole Ends: Quick Tips

Finishing stole ends can be done in various ways, but let’s focus on mitered corners. After folding and pressing the sides and bottoms, create a little triangle at the corner. Pin the edges at the miter and start lacing. Anchor the thread with small stitches and then take staggered stitches along the fold, ensuring edges won’t separate. Continue lacing to the end, then stitch back up. Though mitered corners can be challenging, practicing can lead to beautiful finishes.
