Why we give this away

For most of Church history, vestments and altar linens were made by parish members, guilds, and clergy. We would like that to start again. The pattern, the tutorial, and the guide get you through your first project; if you love the work, we sell the linen, the full-size patterns, and everything else the craft asks for. That is the whole arrangement.
