As you can tell, I clearly went for the easiest pieces first. (Actually, nothing in this wardrobe is particularly complicated, and I like it that way.)
I'm currently finishing up my jacket. Its looking great so far, but... its a bit transparent. Over a black shirt, the fabric is way darker. The right way to fix this? To line it. Only problem, I've never lined a jacket. I know the principle of how it works. Trying to decide if I want to do this. (Thoughts? I'll post a picture as soon as the batteries are charged.)
Also, I've started cutting my pants. I think I should do the pants next. Procrastination is not going to make this one go away, and I absolutely don't want to get to the last few days, and be struggling to sew pants.

Yay! Go go Reethi! Can't wait to hear about the pants...
Wow, you sew fast! Go! Go! Go! I can't wait to see your version of the Burda sleeveless top.
Wow I'm impressed, you can definitely do this, I think the bag looks like it will take the longest! I'm partway through the same jacket at the moment and I know what you mean about lining. You could do it, ending at the sleeve seam before the gathered bit, but I don't think it matters if it's a bit transparent.
Reethi - I just saw the Spiegel catalog in a magazine shop and it reminded me of your wardrobe colors, tres chic!
