It has been way too long since I posted here. Not because I have not done anything I could, but for other reasons. I am going to try now to catch up on sharing.
Today’s post is about my project of making custom embroidered chasubles. I shared the first images of this on the Facebook page quite some time ago. I have now finished two sets of these Chasubles; the first is a less solemn version, which you can see below.
I have finished 4 of these now. Personally, I felt it was a great achievement after having, over the past few years, tested and stitched out the patterns then go back to the design tool to edit them all over again to get what I wanted. There have been many iterations of each design with continued little edits.
These, though, were just a stepping stone towards what I finally wanted, which was a solemn set for the celebrations of the different feasts that are very important to the Order of St. Paul the First Hermit.
I started with these Chasubles from Gruppo Liturgico: https://www.gruppoliturgico.com/en/prodotto/chasuble-39/ and then started embroidering onto white upholstery velvet (only non-stretch velvet I could find). And with some help from a friend, I was able to sow it all together. Images below, which I will leave the reader to judge.
