Digitally Printed Clergy Stole

Most fabrics can be printed with up to 18 colors. The new digital fabric printing process can apply any number of colors. This fabric is digitally printed with countless shades of blue, green and gold. The skinny horizontal stripes go from very dark on one side of the entire fabric panel, and then  gradually get lighter as you move across the panel. The stole shown here was cut from the darkest end of the fabric. You can see the stoles made from the medium shades and the lightest shades at Shadrachs on Etsy. At the moment, all three are available.

This high tech fabric makes for a unique clergy stole that is both joyful and dignified. It would make a memorable gift.

The mitered back looks good with the stripes meeting at a 90 degree angle.

Indigo Blue Advent Stole

This beautiful design looks like streams of water. This print by Moda is inspired by the Japanese Shibori method of resist dyeing in which fabric is folded and tied, then dyed in indigo. Indigo dye has been in use since antiquity. This fabric has a nice smooth hand. 

This stole is beautiful for Advent. See details here.

First Stole in a New Series: Joyful Blue

See details about this Joyful Blue stole #268 here: Shadrach's Fine Handmade Clergy Stoles.

This is the first of six stoles made from my collection of Kaffe Fassett Collective prints. I love this combination of blue, green and lavender. It reminds me of an evening walk by a lake.

I like the idea of incorporating beauty in worship.

Another Seaglass Stole

Blues, greens and sandy chartreuse colors look like seaglass. This soothing pallette is popular and hard to keep in stock. This one is hot off the sewing machine. It would make a nice gift for a pastor who enjoys the beach and the sea. Happy summer!

Vertical Design Blue Stole

 I just finished making this stole and I love it. The fabric is by Timeless Treasures and it has a very pleasing hand. The colors are rich and beautiful, reminding me of water, sky in the evening and grass. It's cool and soothing. This stole is artistic and dignified, perfect for worship in my opinion. 54" Length. Back side is black. All cotton; won't slide on your lap when sitting.

As always, I appreciate any comments you may have. See more details here: Water Stole #191.

Blue and Green: Joyful #185

I just finished making Joyful (#185). I love working with these soothing greens and blues. There's a little bit of purple, gold and red-orange in there too. The back of the stole is black. Three layers of 100% Kona cotton. Feels nice. As always I welcome your comments and suggestions.

Seaglass Colors, Cool and Peaceful

Many shades of grayish green, blue and gold look like a collection of seaglass. The soft colors are cool and peaceful, like a contemplative walk on the beach. 54" Long measured from back of neck.

The back side is black, 100% cotton, won't slide off your lap when sitting.

Painterly Blue Stole

This blue stole looks like an abstract painting, but it's printed cotton fabric. Colors include: aqua, turquoise, royal blue, cobalt blue, a little green and purple, and a smidgen of chartreuse. Nice effect, like a soothing drink of cool water. See this stole here.
