I made this using the Steffi pattern, which was easy and fun to sew. I love the results! I used 2 1/2 yards of cotton twill and 2 yards cotton broadcloth for the lining.

Wow you did a really great job of this jacket. I am also currently (slowly) working on my Steffi while having a love/hate relationship with the fabric. I more wanted to see what the actual shape turned out like but yours is great. Well done.
