Gothic Chasuble Sewing Pattern Y Orphrey | Gothic Chasuble Style 3001
Gothic Chasuble Sewing Pattern with Y Orphrey Style 3001
Style 3001 is a Gothic chasuble sewing pattern, known for its soft lines, graceful drape, and the deep symbolism carried by its orphrey bands.
The chasuble’s history begins in the 4th century, when the Roman paenula gradually took on liturgical use. By the 9th century, it had become a formal vestment for worship..
During the Gothic period (12th–15th century), it evolved into the wide, flowing form, rich with embroidery and meaning, that remains a beloved standard today.
Drawing from vestments preserved in churches and archives, this pattern helps today’s makers continue sacred work with skill, dignity, and care.
It is trusted by church sewing guilds, religious communities, and individual seamstresses alike. Many choose it for seasonal sets, ordination gifts, feast day vestments, and special commissions across Catholic, Anglican, Lutheran, and Orthodox traditions.
With lengthen/shorten lines and clear Y-orphrey placement guides, construction is made simple and reliable. From the shaped neckline to the fully tailored lining, every detail supports a polished, reverent finish.
If you’re ready to sew with purpose and tradition, this pattern is ready to guide your hands.

Pattern FAQ's
What is the sewing level for this project?
This is a project for advanced intermediate to professional level seamstresses. This project is NOT for beginners.
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.
May I make a copy of the pattern in my plotter or save a digital copy of this pattern?
The pattern is copy righted and is offered as a courtesy for use in the church to the Glory of God. The pattern may NOT be copied or saved in any digital format, resold, modified, and sold as an original work, etc.
For private use only. Not intended for commercial use.
