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.

This practical handbook for homes and church communities helps to
enrich the Christian celebration of Advent through the creation and
use of an Advent calendar. Written for people of all skill levels,
Baumgarten provides instructions for a calendar made of paper or
junk mail, a no-sew felt version, and a fabric version for more
advanced sewers.
Teach Us To Number Our Days, however, is more than a simple
crafts' book. Baumgarten provides readers with a brief history of
the development of Advent in the Christian calendar, as well as
detailed explanations of the various Christian symbols that can be
used during the season. Paying attention to both the Old and New
Testament symbols, as well as the Sundays of Advent and the Great
'O' Antiphons from December 17-23, this book is a complete guide to
Advent for individuals, families, and churches.
