Style 1040 Latin Mass Tapered
Stole and Maniple Fringe
The pastoral or priest stole is adaptable to different heights with easy length adjustments, offering options for a plain or fringed hem. The maniple lining features a marking for a tacking stitch, creating a small arm loop for convenience. Typically adorned with a cross applique or embroidery at the center back neck/seam, this stole and maniple pattern adds a sacred touch, whether through machine or hand embroidery or iron-on application. Guideline markings are included for orphrey band and trim placement, ensuring a professional finish.
The instructions and construction style make these stoles and maniples a nice project for an intermediate to advanced seamstress/seamster.

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.
