Handwoven Guatemalan Fabric Makes a Great Stole

I made this clergy stole using fabric that was handwoven in Guatemala. It was purchased from a vendor of international textiles in Dallas, TX. The quality of the weaving is excellent. Some of the tiny stripes are only one thread wide. The rich colors include red, orange, yellow, cobalt blue, green, and a little black and white. This fabric has a nice hand, slightly coarse compared to an Oxford shirt.

Solid Rock Design Clergy Stole

On a recent trip to Oregon I found this unusual fabric that looks like granite or marble. It has 17 shades of brown and gray. I've never seen a fabric like this before. Makes for a one-of-a-kind stole.

This purple stole was custom made for a customer. The little cross on the back, shown above, measures 1.25" tall. The fabric is high quality Kona cotton. The back is black Kona cotton (so it won't slide off your lap when you're sitting down). See all the stoles here.

Red Autumn Clergy Stole

 Just listed today, this red/brown/gold abstract print clergy stole would make a nice gift for a pastor's ordination ceremony or other special occasion. Add a white cross for no extra charge.

Forest Clergy Stole

Made from "Yokohama Forest" fabric from the Alexander Henry Fabrics Collection, 2012. 

Beautiful Forest stole is offered on Etsy. 

Earth Colors Batik Clergy Stole

This batik clergy stole is primarily brown, teal, gold and plum. The fabric was handmade in Indonesia. I like the mosaic design which is sharp in some places but blurry in other places. It has a sun-dappled look. 

The neck lies nice and flat. Neat mitered point in the back (below).

Lavender Ice Batik Clergy Stole

I just finished making three of these stoles today. The batik fabric is hand printed in Indonesia. This is an extraordinary fabric. It looks like blue and lavender ice crystals and melting ice. Each stole is slightly different because of the randomness involved in the fabric dyeing. The backs are a solid, pale lavender. This would look particularly stunning on someone with white or gray hair, don't you think?

It looks good on a black or white robe. Click here: Lavender Ice Batik clergy stoles.

Handmade Clergy Stoles Available on Etsy

This 54" long women's floral clergy stole is available in my Etsy shop: Shadrach's. 

I made this stole using tailoring methods so that the curved neckline will lay nice and flat. 

The edges are crisp and straight. The interfacing gives the stole a nice weight. 

The cotton/poly blend lining resists wrinkles and won't slide off your lap when you're sitting down. 

This will look stunning on a black robe. Made from 100% cotton floral print "Flora Rosa" 

by Benartex. Floral design on a black/gray background.
