Vestments -- the robes, stoles or other items worn by clergy, or
cloths used at the altar -- not only add beauty to a worship
service, but are visual clues to the liturgical season and to the
tone of a particular service. The most beautiful and meaningful
vestments are often those made for a particular priest, serving in
a specific sanctuary. But many shy away from trying to sew
vestments, which seem too complicated and difficult to make.
In Vestments for All Seasons, Barbara Baumgarten demystifies the
making of vestments -- from designing and fitting patterns, to
fabric and color selection, to putting on the finishing touches.
She provides patterns and directions for producing special
vestments for Advent and Lent, Easter, and Pentecost, and general
instructions for designing and making vestments completely from
scratch. A history of the development of vestments from Roman times
to the present is included, as well as a full glossary describing
the various vestments worn by clergy, bishops, deacons, and
choir.
