Working on a Blazer from this pattern: http://www.burdastyle.com/pattern_store/patterns/crossover-blazer-062012
I really like the way that it is turning out... except for the damnable sleeves! I can't set them in to save my life! (That's also not a 100% true. I did manage to do a nice job on the one, but the second one is proving most problematic. so, I will get to take it out again, for a third time...)
The jacket is made in a natural linen and is lined in black lining material (the same stuff that I used for my coat). Some things that I noticed: These two fabrics are not difficult to work with... until you try to put them together. They are similarly treated (washing and drying instructions), but use two different iron settings... I may have melted a tiny portion of my lining material. Another concern: I did it for my size of body, but when the blazer is closed, I am concerned about the mobility of my arms (being able to lift things)- I don't know if it would have been better to make the next size up, but at the moment, the blazer fits beautifully.
I will post pictures as soon as I feel happy about the final project. Overall, it's looking good.
