Cake pleated wool coat

⏱ Prep Time

Pattern prep: 1–2 hours

Cutting: 1 hour

Sewing & assembly: 6–10 hours
Resting (pressing & hanging): Overnight

🍽 Serves

One statement coat (mid-thigh to calf length)

🧺 Ingredients

Base Layers

Outer shell (Layer 1):

2.5–3 m medium-to-heavy wool (melton, boiled wool, tweed)
Structure layer (Layer 2):
2–2.5 m wool blend, flannel, or cotton twill
Lining (Layer 3):
2–2.5 m silk, viscose, or Bemberg lining

Filling & Support

Fusible interfacing (medium to heavy)
Horsehair braid or canvas (optional, for hem/body support)
Sleeve head roll or thin batting (optional)
Flavor Enhancers
Matching thread (poly + silk thread for lining)
6–10 buttons or snaps (or belt hardware)
Tailor’s chalk

Press cloth

🧁 Equipment

Sewing machine (walking foot recommended)
Iron with steam
Pleating ruler or cardboard guide
Hand-sewing needles
Pins or fabric clips

🥣 Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Batter (Pattern)
Draft or select a simple A-line or straight coat base.
Plan pleats:
Box pleats (structured, classic)
Knife pleats (flowy, modern)
Add extra width to panels where pleats will sit (1.5–2× fabric width).

Step 2: Mix the Layers

Cut all three layers separately.

Interface:

Front panels

Collar

Cuffs

Mark pleat lines clearly on outer shell only.

Step 3: Fold the Pleats (Key Decoration)

Press pleats carefully, using steam and a press cloth.
Baste pleats in place at waist and hem.
Lightly tack pleats at top only—let them open below.

Step 4: Bake the Outer Cake

Assemble outer shell:

Sew pleated panels

Attach collar

Insert sleeves

Press seams open as you go (this is your “don’t overmix” rule).

Step 5: Add the Filling (Structure Layer)

Assemble the inner structure like a second coat.

Attach it to the outer shell at:

Neckline
Armholes
Front edges

Step 6: Ice the Cake (Lining)

Sew lining separately.

Bag the lining:

Attach at neckline and front edges
Leave a turning opening
Turn, press, and hand-close opening.

Step 7: Final Decoration

Hand-sew hems invisibly
Add buttons, belt, or snaps
Steam pleats one last time and let the coat hang overnight

⭐ Chef’s Tips

Wool loves steam—press, don’t iron flat.
If pleats collapse, add a hidden stay stitch at hip level.
For drama: contrast lining color = surprise “cake filling.”
