Help with jean jacket!

Hi!
Recently, my boyfriend gave me about 5/6 jeans that he doesnt use anymore cause they're too freyed for him or have minor issues.
I decided to make a jean jacket, but cant, for the life of me, fin a usefull pattern to work with.
Note that i recently moved out of my country and left my sewing machine, so i'm working the old fashioned way.

The only thin i found that could actually help me a little is this picture

But i'm not completely sure about the sleeves since it's the first time i'll make something with sleeves.
Can i get some help/counceling/chocolate, pleaseeee?!

Thanks!

Hello,

For christmas I recieved this book. You should be able to use one of the three patterns inside this book.
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Built-Wendy-Coats-Jackets-Mullin/dp/0307461343/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1388258784&sr=1-1&keywords=coats+and+jackets
For the sleeves I would suggest using the legs of the jeans and trimming from the inside. use lots of pins and measure twice.
I have faith in you
