A French-inspired pattern for the vestments and hangings you have in mind.
Designed by F. J. Flanagan, Truro recalls eighteenth-century French designs of the Marlborough and Blenheim period. It is woven in silk and cotton, with a flowing pattern that invites you to think about the whole piece before cutting. Try your pattern over the cloth and choose where you would most like the design to sit.
Projects and possibilities
Vestments, stoles, banners, and hangings are natural choices. The pattern also suits historic costumes, academic or formal garments, and decorative textiles when you check a swatch and pattern first.

Planning your project
Lay out the motif on your pattern pieces before cutting. Center or balance the design on the most visible panels, and allow for matching wherever seams join the pattern. A little time here helps the whole piece come together.
Ordering fabric and swatches
Select By the Yard for fabric yardage or Swatch for a sample, then choose your color where offered. Swatches are approximately 4 × 6 inches and are intended for checking color, texture and feel; they may not show a full pattern repeat.
Ordering multiple swatches: If you order two or more swatches, we will fulfill your order as swatches in the colors and quantities selected. Ordering several swatches does not order fabric yardage. Please order yardage separately using the By the Yard option.
Please review your selected option and quantity before checkout. Swatch orders are final sale once processed.
For our complete terms, see our return and refund policy.
Fulfillment time: Swatches are usually in stock and are generally fulfilled within 1–5 business days. If fabric stock needs to be ordered, please allow 7–14 business days for fulfillment.
Shipping transit time: Carrier transit begins after your package ships and is additional to fulfillment time. Transit time varies with the shipping service selected at checkout.
Care and preparation
Before you begin, test your chosen pressing, backing and cleaning methods on an offcut. Plan the care of the finished piece around the damask, lining, embroidery and trims together. If you are unsure about your combination, please ask us before cutting.

Work from your finished dimensions and the vertical and horizontal repeats. Lay out any joins and borders before calculating the yardage you need.
Bring your project together
Gather your pattern, lining and trims before settling the final yardage. These are useful places to begin:
