About the Author

Rev. Cheryl L. Miner has been a minister for over 20 years. While in active ministry, she became aware of how expensive ministerial vestments are. When Rev. Cheryl retired from active ministry, she was inspired to use her previous sewing and design experience to enable her fellow clerics to make their own vestments. It is her hope and prayer that this book, which is the fruit of four years of vestment designing and sewing, will allow everyone in the ministry to be beautifully vested without having to make a big dent in their budgets.
