Spade-End Stole & Maniple Sewing Pattern | Traditional Latin Mass Vestments 

A Sacred Offering in Every Stitch

Maybe you’ve been asked to sew something for a priest or entrusted by your parish to prepare sacred garments for a feast day, you know this: every stitch must hold reverence.

That’s why we offer the Style 1022 Spade End Stole & Maniple Sewing Pattern, a humble guide to vestments stitched with reverence and purpose. 

Designed for pastoral use, it brings clarity and reverence to the art of sewing sacred garments. It’s suitable for many low and high Mass vestment sets.

The spade end silhouette is rooted in vintage ecclesiastical resources. It reflects prayers, simplicity, and dignity, qualities essential to vestments that serve in worship.

It will be an offering, a handmade, ecclesiastical gift for your priest, your parish, or your season of service.

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?

Is the pattern available as a digital download file?

Are the patterns sold to clients the same patterns used by Ecclesiastical Sewing?

May I make a copy of the pattern in my plotter or save a digital copy of this pattern?
