Old English Bell Sleeve Surplice Sewing Pattern | Style 4029 & 4030 Surplice
Old English Bell Sleeve Surplice
Style 4029 S-M-L and Style 4030 XL-2XL-3XL
Introducing the Old English style surplice, distinguished by its bell-shaped sleeves. The skirt and raglan set sleeve gathered into the round yoke, ensuring a full and graceful silhouette. With convenient lengthen/shorten lines on both the skirt and sleeve, this surplice can be adjusted to suit various heights, making it a versatile choice for all wearers.
This classic clergy surplice features a round yoke style with a full skirt that hits mid-calf.
Available Sizes:
-
Style 4029 Sizes S-M-L
- Style 4030 Sizes XL-XXL-XXXL
Adjustments for sleeve length or hem length can be made by adding to or shortening the hemline.
Use of a narrower fabric would require piecing at the pleats.
Suggested fabrics: Broadcloth, Poplin, linen, or other plain weave fabrics.
Underlining: 2/3 yard of lightweight cotton broadcloth
The underlining can be a lightweight cotton broadcloth or other similar fabric. Use of fusible interfacing in place of underlining is not recommended, as the interfacing may stiffen fabric. That is not the intended purpose of the underlining.
Pattern FAQ's
What is the pattern printed on?
The pattern is printed on white paper. For those who wish to use something a bit less stiff, you may prefer to trace the pattern onto a lighter-weight Pellon pattern interfacing paper.
Why is the pattern printed on white paper?
There are limited paper options available for small pattern companies to keep production minimums low and costs affordable for clients. The patterns are printed locally in small quantities as needed. The available paper that is large enough for use with our full-size patterns for use while still allowing for small print runs is white blueprint paper.
Can the wrinkles be pressed out of the pattern by ironing?
It is NOT recommended to use anything hot to press the pattern paper. The patterns are printed with toner ink and they will smudge and leave black marks on other surfaces if the pattern is ironed. Simple smooth the pattern out by hand prior to cutting. If you prefer, the pattern may also be traced off on Pellon Pattern interfacing to preserve the original.
Is the pattern available as a digital download file?
The patterns are NOT available as a digital download file. They are a physical product that requires shipping.
Are the patterns sold to clients the same patterns used by Ecclesiastical Sewing?
Yes. We use the very same patterns that are available online in our workrooms for creating beautiful vestments.

What I love about ecclesiastical sewing is the quality of their fabrics and the selection of liturgical fabrics that can be hard to find otherwise. I also Like the fact that if there is a question about anything I can email and communicate with a real person not a tangle of phone prompts and artificial voice systems. That’s so refreshing.
