IF it survives that long and IF the church’s instruction re vestments does not change in those years.

I am interested in making vestments. I do not at the moment, but in my interest I have found a place that offers the patterns for more traditional vestments and offers materials and suggestions for the making of fine liturgical vestments.
sewvestment.com
This site is run by sisters in schism, sadly, but it does offer some wonderful advice, materials, and patterns. On the seminar page it says for the seminar, to make the vestment, one would need:
I do hope this information is helpful. God bless you for desiring to help!

So, perhaps this above information will give you an idea of how much material to send. I would say about four or five yards is a good amount. You may want to think about sending a yard or so more just in case. And if it is too much, then they can use what is left to make the good Fr. something more too.
I do hope this information is helpful. God bless you for desiring to help!

When it comes to pattern help being in schism or not does not make a difference!!!I am interested in making vestments.

Just wish, to help the OP, the list indicated the fabric width since that makes all the difference and can make creation of the vestment a pain or easy. 38 inch wide vs 48 inch is a BIG difference in fabric so you could look at doubling the fabric and worrying about possible matching issues.
They do list a book that could be VERY helpful to the OP and is reasonable:

Yes, the book does seem pretty nifty. (I want it 
)
But, I wanted to post again because I just went to a sewing lesson at a friend’s house. She makes vestments for the priest in her parish. She has never done a fiddleback, but she does do the really long drapey ones that resemble ponchos (Sorry, don’t know the correct terms here - I am working on it
). She said to do those she uses three yards of fabric. I would think it would not take nearly as much to make a fiddleback as it does those. So keeping that in mind and then what the website above said about five-yards, I really wouldn’t think of going too much over that five yard estimate, and I would go with the wider 48, to be on the safe side. Anyway, thought I would post what she said in case it is helpful. God bless!

The OP mentioned the shorter width (38) and that could be problematic.Yes, the book does seem pretty nifty. (I want it

It is why I suggested getting good info on what is specified in a pattern - when I began sewing I used to guess a lot and try to fudge things. It is just not worth it and not nice to do to another person. You cannot underestimate the importance of getting the right specifics (type of fabrics, other items needed like matching thread, making sure there is enough fabric, etc).
