Biography, Experience, Current Projects and Fee Schedules
Linda Patterson holds a BS in education and recently retired from teaching. For the past 12 years while teaching, she also worked at her home business of designing and creating custom liturgical vestments. Currently she is working on a concelebrant set of green vestments for the Office of Worship, Diocese of St. Petersburg, FL.

In making chasubles, 100% wool, wool blend, and silks are used. Wools are lightweight and allow for the natural flow. Natural fibers breathe and do not retain body heat. Silks add richness to the garment through their textures and their ability to emit various shades in the movement of the garment. Chasubles are made to client's specifications. Altar scarves, ambo drops and hangings can be made to match. Pricing depends on size.

Albs are custom made using fabric with a blend of natural fibers and polyester, or 100% polyester, if preferred. Weight of the fabric ranges from light to medium. Swiss embroidered lace can be set in the cuff and hem. The lace adds a touch of elegance while remaining simplistic. Crosses or decorative stitching can be embroidered on the fabric between two rows of lace. Altar linens can be ordered to measure, using 100% linen or a cotton blend. Pricing depends on size and laces used.

Prices range from $300.00 to $1,000.00 for chasubles & dalmatics, and $150.00 to $295.00 for albs. Photos and fabric swatches can be sent and a price determined after the design, fabric and trim is decided upon.
