Collection of Surplice Patterns

Did you know that we offer a variety of surplice patterns designed to cater to any style and occasion? Our collection extends beyond clergy members, including options for altar servers and choir members!

What is a surplice?

A surplice is a loose-fitting, knee-length tunic usually worn over a cassock or other liturgical vestments. It is typically made from lightweight white linen or cotton and features wide, open sleeves and a full-cut body. Surplices also can be embellished with embroidery or lace.

What Makes Our Patterns Different?

Our professional in-studio pattern maker crafts each pattern using precise measurements, meticulous detailing, and a deep understanding of garment construction–bringing beauty and accuracy to every project.

We offer the largest selection of church vestment patterns, including:

• Chasubles
• Stoles
