NOTE: This book is a reproduction of an informative historical work. Ecclesiastical Sewing has digitally remastered this text, preserving the original ideas for future generations. Since this is the reconstructed original, the original blemishes may be present in our reproduction. These have been left with the intention to preserve the integrity of this historical work.

Modern readers may not be as familiar with the writing style of historical works. These books were written at a time when there was an assumed level of knowledge. They are unlike today's works where people expect to be taken by the hand through every possible detail.
