Latin Mass Chasuble Sewing Pattern Details

As a designer, I’ve worked closely with our pattern maker to create the largest collection of chasuble sewing patterns available on the market. We have traditional designs, along with some lovely exquisite, and unique designs. This Latin Mass Chasuble Sewing Pattern was created at the request of someone to fill a very specific need. They, like you, were struggling to find a way to create a special design. Their priest felt this chasuble recreation would enhance the worship life of their parish. After looking at a wider variety of design options and styles, this pattern was created. And it was the perfect solution to their problem!

The Latin Mass Chasuble Sewing Pattern boasts a shaped cross design, offering a classic and refined appearance for your liturgical attire. Furthermore, the pattern provides comprehensive instructions for crafting a durable and striking vestment. Aimed at the skilled seamstress, placing an order will allow you to create a cherished chasuble that will last for years. Additionally, all yardage and trim specifications are included below.

Creativity at work:

Discover numerous options to create beautiful church vestments. We understand your desire for inspiration, so we have provided a few design examples to spark your creativity.

Imagine a lovely Marian Chasuble set created in white and blue brocades. Start with white St. Margaret Brocade or Florence Brocade. Add contrasting orphrey bands using blue St. Aidan, deep blue St. Margaret brocade, or Lichfield brocade. Use silver MS Braid or MS Braid, or Antique Gold Grape leaf braid.

Latin Mass Chasuble Sewing Pattern for Lent

With the Season of Lent only a few short weeks, the combination of Violet and Black comes to mind. This style looks stunning with Violet St. Margaret and Black Fairford or Black/Gold Fairford Broacde for the shaped cross. The goldwork applique is the Crucifixion design.

Oxblood Red Chasuble

Oxblood or Scarlet are colors for Holy Week in many faiths. Red Fairford Brocade with Black accents creates stunning  Oxblood Holy Week Vestments.

It only takes a bit of imagination to see the many possibilities that can be created using this lovely Lain Mass Chasuble Sewing Pattern. If this were on the work tables, I would consider using a Black and gold Dice Braid with the above applique. The black and gold Dice Braid certainly lends a subtle but striking finishing touch.

Are you ready to imagine your next vestment set? What are your favorite color combinations for this Latin Mass Chasuble Sewing Pattern? The Our Lady of Lourdes and the Crucifixion goldwork designs are available on the website under appliques.

Struggles Carrie faced over the years

I know firsthand the struggle that many face when trying to create beautiful church vestments. For instance, when I created my very first church vestment years ago as a young college student, there was nothing available. And we did not have the internet! There was only the local fabric store. Fast forward 25 to 30 years. My church had just built a lovely new building. As a designer and seamstress, I wanted to use my time and talents to create vestments and paraments for my church. Sadly, nothing had changed! There was still nothing available! Thus, an amazing 20-year journey began.

Today, we are so pleased to offer a wonderful assortment of patterns and resources for others because we don’t believe it should be a struggle to have good sewing pattern designs available. Our hope and prayers are that by providing quality sewing patterns,  seamstresses can use their time and talents to bring beauty to their churches without enduring the struggles that I had faced.

This Latin Mass Chasuble Sewing Pattern is one of the latest sewing pattern treasures that we offer for those who are on this journey. The pattern is available on our website, along with Coordinating Latin Mass Stole Patterns, Chalice Veil, and Burse patterns. Now you can create your own Low Mass Vestment Set!

Church Vestments

Having a great sewing pattern is only the first step when creating church vestments. There have been so many requests for church vestment sewing classes in recent months. We appreciate and understand the challenges of actually putting that sewing pattern to use!  Knowing how to work with brocade patterns, trims, and colors, and what techniques and skills are needed to create a beautifully finished piece are all sewing skills we were never taught.

Working with fabrics that cost hundreds of dollars per yard can be intimidating and overwhelming, to say the least! The fear of making one wrong cut can keep anyone frozen and afraid to even begin their project. I have personally lived this story! A beautiful piece of $240 per yard tapestry fabric was draped over my sewing and cutting table for 8 months before I summoned the courage to take that very first cut. But when I finally did, everything changed!
