Style 6010 Amice Pattern | Priest Vestment Sewing Patterns
Priest Amice Sewing Pattern Style 6010
A pattern for making a priest Amice consists of a white cloth connected to two long ribbons or tapes which it is fastened around the shoulders of the priest. Before the liturgical reforms of the 1970's, the use of an amice was mandatory for all Roman Catholic Masses. Many priests choose to wear the amice for reasons of tradition or to prevent damage to their other vestments due to perspiration.
The Amice pattern contains the main pattern as well as the apparel pattern.
- Yardage requirements: 3/4 yard linen
- Apparel Fabric Yardage: 1/4 yard
- Sew-In Interfacing Yardage: 1/4 yard
- 13 yards of 1/2 inch or 5/8 inch twill tape
- Optional buttons or snaps 5 (required for use with a detachable amice collar)
- 24" by 36" Finished size.
The Amice pattern is designed for making an amice with or without an apparel collar. The amice is 24"' x 36". It uses 12 feet of 1/2inch or 5/8 inch twill tape. The apparel collar may be applied using buttons and buttonholes or snaps.
All religious embroidery designs and patterns assume knowledge on the part of the seamstress. General instructions are included. More specific and detailed instructions will be available at a future date.
Pattern FAQ's
What is the pattern printed on?
The pattern is printed on white paper. For those who wish to use something a bit less stiff, you may prefer to trace the pattern onto a lighter-weight Pellon pattern interfacing paper.
Why is the pattern printed on white paper?
There are limited paper options available for small pattern companies to keep production minimums low and costs affordable for clients. The patterns are printed locally in small quantities as needed. The available paper that is large enough for use with our full-size patterns for use while still allowing for small print runs is white blueprint paper.
Can the wrinkles be pressed out of the pattern by ironing?
It is NOT recommended to use anything hot to press the pattern paper. The patterns are printed with toner ink and they will smudge and leave black marks on other surfaces if the pattern is ironed. Simple smooth the pattern out by hand prior to cutting. If you prefer, the pattern may also be traced off on Pellon Pattern interfacing to preserve the original.
Is the pattern available as a digital download file?
The patterns are NOT available as a digital download file. They are a physical product that requires shipping.
Are the patterns sold to clients the same patterns used by Ecclesiastical Sewing?
Yes. We use the very same patterns that are available online in our workrooms for creating beautiful vestments.

What I love about ecclesiastical sewing is the quality of their fabrics and the selection of liturgical fabrics that can be hard to find otherwise. I also Like the fact that if there is a question about anything I can email and communicate with a real person not a tangle of phone prompts and artificial voice systems. That’s so refreshing.
