I might enter this project in Pattern Review contest "Lined Jacket" if it is finished on time.
Below, Burda Magazine version
The muslin :

I started by the lining :
I used a Burberry style plaid and followed Tasia complete instructions to match plaids
folded fabric right side inside
matching plaid before laying out the pattern pieces
pinned fabric to match plaid on both layers of fabric
the whole piece of fabric is pined
seam lines are marked with tailor's tacks
Expert Ann Rowley gives excellent instructions about it here
tailor's tacks on the wrong side of the other layer of fabric
tailor's tack before cutting
marked right sides of back pieces ready to be sewn together
center back seam before basting the ease pleat.
The back pleat of the lining is pressed and machine featherstitched through all layers at neckline, waist, and lower edge.

plaid is perfectly matche. Yeah me !!! I just want to add that tailor tacks seem time consuming but result is worth the effort. I achieved perfectly matched seams without basting just pinning !!!!
Thanks to Ann and Tasia for their invaluables expertise.
Oh oui, je vais te suivre, j'espère que tu auras du temps pour le finir à temps et que tu gagneras!
