Monica Coat Sewing Pattern PDF

Create a beautifully tailored swing coat inspired by elegant mid-century outerwear, feminine 1960s silhouettes and timeless winter dressing.

The Monica Coat features a fitted upper body shaped with elegant princess seams, a defined waist and a generously flared midi-length skirt that creates its distinctive swing silhouette.

A softly rounded flat collar, full-length sleeves, front button closure and practical side pockets complete the design, combining vintage character with a refined and wearable modern finish.

Designed for wool and structured coating fabrics, the Monica Coat is a statement outerwear piece that works beautifully with dresses, skirts and tailored trousers — making it an elegant addition to a handmade autumn and winter wardrobe.

Carefully drafted for balanced proportions and a flattering feminine fit, this pattern is ideal for intermediate sewists looking to create a timeless coat with beautiful shaping and classic tailoring details.

Skill level

Intermediate

You should be comfortable with:

• Garment construction
• Sewing princess seams
• Setting in sleeves
• Constructing and attaching a collar
• Sewing buttonholes and buttons
• Working with medium to heavyweight fabrics
• Constructing pockets
• Handling structured outerwear fabrics

This is a rewarding project for sewists ready to move into more structured garment and coat construction.

Fabric suggestions

The Monica Coat works beautifully in medium to heavyweight coating fabrics with enough structure to hold the flared silhouette, including:

• Wool coating
• Wool blends
• Cashmere blends
• Herringbone wool
• Melton wool
• Brushed wool
• Structured bouclé
• Heavyweight twill

Fabrics with a soft but substantial hand will highlight the princess seams and allow the skirt to fall in an elegant, sweeping shape.

For a classic vintage-inspired finish, consider textured wool, subtle herringbone or softly melanged coating fabrics.
