White Vestment: Christmas

White Vestment: Christmas...

I wanted to make a special vestment for Christmas. I left the cape back so that I had more room to decorate. 

Resourcefulness...

The cape is a small doily. The vestment is a portion of a table runner I found at a thrift store, which already has lace on the bottom. The sequences are glued on, and the "Joy" is a sticker. The hand holes and neck are lined with gold embroidery thread. This was a task, but it looks nice.

 This is a different design. The vestment is different shape, since the cape is not folded over. I used only half an oval, then I had to insert another section to make sure it fit correctly.

The cape is a small doily which I cut into three pieces to have the wavy ends act as lace down the sides and around the bottom of the back of the cape. The cape is pegged into place with a few stitches. I ironed some of the waves back so that the statue's hands are visible.
