January Burda is great and has a lot of very wearable clothes, which makes a nice change.
I was so entralled that I traced off the little bolero jacket 117 this evening and made a muslin.
The muslin showed it needed to be longer (if fabric allowed) and have the back neck taken in at the top for my forward head.
My fabric will be a coral embroidered faux shearling (From last year's Harrogate show), but I am not quite sure what to do about the edges. I could just cut them raw and then top stitch the edges to stop the layers separating too much.
I think I got my layout sorted this evening, but I'll save the cutting for when I am a bit fresher.

That is the cutest little jacket. At the magnitude that you sew, you will probably be able to pull off "12 Jackets in one year". Me, I really don't think so since I tend to complicate projects so much. I wish you the best in what ever you decide to do.
I can already tell that this jacket will be a success.
