For centuries the Church inspired some of the finest embroidery and vestment making ever created — but many of the books that taught those skills have been out of print for decades. The Historic Library brings these works back into print for a new generation of church artisans, embroiderers, and vestment makers.
Each volume is chosen for its historical significance and practical value — vestment history, embroidery technique, symbolism, and sacred craftsmanship. Pair your reading with our vestment sewing patterns and goldwork supplies.
