Funeral Casket Pall Sewing Pattern
The word pall comes from the Latin pallium meaning cloak. Thus a cloak or covering – a pall – is placed over the casket, or in ancient times, the body, of the deceased when a casket was not affordable. The use of funeral palls has a long-standing tradition dating back to at least the Middle Ages. During this time, the cloth was often rich or brightly colored, and palls were often richly embroidered. In America and Canada, the palls used today are often white. Palls may be decorated with embroidery or contrasting fabrics.

Gothic Chasuble Sewing Pattern Fabric Options
Chasubles are typically made of a lightweight, flowing fabric that features a large orphrey (decorative band) around the neck and down the front. There are a variety of fabric options that may be used for making chasubles, each with its own unique characteristics and benefits. Let’s take a few moments to explore some of the fabrics that might be used to create our Gothic Chasuble Sewing Pattern.
Pastor and Priest Stoles: The One with the Forget-Me-Nots
The white lilies and blue forget-me-nots held symbolic meaning. The dainty blue flowers asked the viewer not to forget God’s promises, while the white bursting blooms proclaimed the resurrection. They were attached to a bed of greens and a cross adorned the center of the stole.
Slate Frames for Hand Embroidery
Those who love doing fine hand embroidery, slate frames are an essential tool. A slate frame is usually made of wood. Consider investing in a quality slate frame. slate frames allow you to keep your stitching project laced and tight while embroidering.
Cotta Sewing Patterns for Altar Servers
The Cottas can be made using a variety of fabrics: Portsmouth Poplin would be a low-iron option. Linen, such as our Renaissance Linen would be a traditional fabric choice.
Bespoke Vestments and Paraments
The term “bespoke” means something that’s made especially for a particular user. In other words, it’s something that we have designed, or at least customized. Here at Ecclesiastical Sewing, we have a wide variety of ready-made designs for bespoke vestments and paraments of all kinds. Basic selections include stoles, as well as pulpit, falls, or communion table/altar frontals with little decoration besides a plain orphrey
A discussion about Chasubles
The chasuble was an ordinary garment, and very full in form. The idea was that the cloth would cover the wearer’s clothes, providing extra warmth and protection from the elements. Romans called this piece of clothing a “clasura,” or “little house.” This garment evolved into a liturgical vestment that became specific to priests and used only during celebrations of the Mass.
Do you have your favorite Violet Stole Style Selected Yet? Lent is coming!
Some of our favorite fabrics, the richly historic pattern – Fairford, along with the Winchester Brocade. The Brocades are available in deep violet color. Violet is the color used by a wide number of church bodies during the season of Lent. The color violet is used for Lent because it is associated with mourning. We reflect on the mysteries of Christ and remember the pain and suffering of His crucifixion. Violet is also the color of royalty and it reminds us that we will soon celebrate Christ’s resurrection and sovereignty.
