Style 6050 Humeral Veil Sewing Pattern

This Style 6050 Humeral Veil Sewing Pattern: as the name implies is used to cover the shoulders as a sign of humility

It reflects the historic design used for solemn occasions in the Latin Rite, with a full width of 109½ inches and a structured, dignified drape.

The inclusion of interior hand pockets and a morse clasp placement makes this pattern liturgically functional and true to form.

The veil hangs in easy folds and doesn’t require the use any stiffening or heavy interfacing. The veil should be light and flexible.

The center back of the veil may be adorned with a light embroidery or medallion that maintains the grace and simplicity of the veil.

The trim placement guides give you flexibility to adapt the design to different liturgical colors or match an existing set.

This pattern helps you to sew something worthy of its purpose in the liturgy that every detail speaks.
