Meet Martin the Mannequin! He was purchased from a fashion gallery and shipped to Ecclesiastical Sewing in Northern Minnesota to be used as a fashion form for trying on vestments. Not a fan of the cold or the small-town vibes, Martin struggles to adapt to his new job.

The team has adorned him in luxurious fabrics, decorated with intricate embroidery.

Meet Martin the Steadfast

There is a new man in the Ecclesiastical Sewing workroom of late. He is on duty, 24/7, never leaving his post. He never complains, or tires of his duty.  He responds to my beck and call.  He stands to guard over my vintage liturgical sewing library, keeping harm and danger at bay. He has been hanging around for several months now, not doing much of anything…..sometimes he is in the way and gets shoved or pushed, but he takes it in stride.  He is tall and well-built.
