Choose a season or a color and the whole library reorders itself to show you that color, in the goods that will actually arrive. Fabric by the yard, galloons and orphrey braid to match, and the English lace for altar linens. Order by the yard, or send for a swatch first and see it in your own light.
Brocade, damask, brocatelle, silk and linen. Every colorway is photographed, so the swatch you see on the card is the cloth that ships.

We do not currently stock a fabric in that color.
Try another season, or write to us and we will tell you what is coming.

Our previous silk supplier had 45" bolts that always left us with a skinny strip leftover. This fabric is wide enough for two chalice veils side-by-side. The color selection is amazing and the staff were helpful in selecting the shade of gold that I wanted for my project.

This is a beautiful brocade and very easy to work with. The priest stole is just perfect. Service was very quick especially for an order coming from the UK. Thank you!

We purchased this fabric to create a new Advent frontal and ambo drape and were extremely happy with the results. Rich and elegant without being overstated.

The braid that finishes the piece. Narrow galloons for edging, three inch orphrey braid for the column and cross, fringe for the ends of a stole, and tassels and cinctures for a cope. Grouped by kind, so everything of one sort sits together. Gold and silver metallics are shown in every color view because they are used with every season.

Smooth finish that doesn't "catch" and light enough not to weigh down my project. Both sides are pretty enough to use, too!

I couldn't find a 3-4" purple tassel anywhere locally. I found it here and ordered it. It came as promised, perfect color and size.

I wanted to make the stole for my daughter's ordination and was led to Ecclesiastical Sewing. The fabrics and trims are exquisite, the pattern easy to follow, and Carrie's help was invaluable. Thank you! I'll be back.

English cluny, insertion and netting lace for fair linens, purificators, cottas and christening gowns. Lace is not filtered by liturgical color: altar linen is white or ivory in every season, so the whole collection stays on the page whichever color you have chosen.

No lace in that style just now. Write to us and we will tell you what is coming.

After looking for some time for a lace that would grace the new Adoration altar linen that I was making, I was "taken" by this lace. It is stunning!

Drafted for church work and printed at full size, so there is nothing to enlarge or guess at. Patterns are not tied to a liturgical color, so the whole library stays on the page whichever color you have chosen.
No pattern for that garment yet. Write to us and we will tell you what is being drafted.

Very professional packing with detailed sewing instructions and picked up a tip I never learned since I've been tailoring for 40 plus years. I would make referrals to sewers without any hesitation. A "class act"!

I am extremely pleased and impressed with the effort and care in the products. The pattern, even down to the packaging, is of the best quality. Nice paper, clear markings, and well described instructions. This company has a beautiful standard of excellence.

Excellent instructions. Turned out well. Deacon and priest were pleased. Used black "Fairford" fabric, silver galloons, fringe and crosses.

Reprints of the standard works on church needlework and vestment making, several of them long out of print, alongside our own design books.

Excellently drawn, well-sized and proportioned designs. Like your other design/pattern book. As a designer of needlepoint and stained glass, I appreciate adding good quality publications to my library!

We are using the book to create a weekly Advent series of ambo banners to prepare for Our Lord's birth.

An excellent resource full of useful information. This is an important resource.

If you would rather ask a person
Yardage for a chasuble, the right weight of linen, whether a galloon will sit properly on a curve. Write or telephone and someone who sews will answer.
