With the last stitch taken and the last button sewn on, the last day of July seemed a perfect time to give the Wild Jacket a trial run. Of course, a jacket was not needed on this morning, nor on any morning of this hot summer month, so it was good to have a handy place to leave it along the way.

Later, when Millie and I went back to get it, we took a hanger for another picture. The fit is good, and I love the full loose sleeves, which are perfect for a trail jacket.
I have black walnuts on hand, so I will be getting the dye pot ready soon. Hopefully, the color will turn out somewhat like Willow's jacket in the picture below. I will post a few more pictures of this doll and her clothes over on my other blog, the link for which can be found in the sidebar above.

Beautifully and artistically tailored. It will get its destined christening in the black walnut dye pot! Can't wait .
Ooohh, black walnut dye! Congratulations on the completion of the sewing. One more family heirloom added to your legacy. <3
That looks so good and will be even better when dyed. Well done!
I'm looking forward to this beauty wearing a black walnut dye. It is a wonderful jacket.
Your jacket looks amazing but have to say I bow to your button-sewing-on-abilities (and yes, I know that's not a word, but it SHOULD be!). I love it as it it, but it's going to be even more beautiful with walnut ink dye. Can't wait to see!
Ah this jacket is so well done. Like the idea of the black walnut dye. Hope you are having a wonderful start to August. Hugs!
Oh my, yes! The walnuts will be so perfect for your jacket. I love how the doll's jacket shows so much more texture because of the color. And it's a gorgeous color!
Your jacket looks lovely. I'm anxious to see the jacket once it is dyed with black walnut dye.
Hugs, Julia
Your jacket turned out fabulous! Soon you will be able to use it. I wish I had some walnuts. Have fun in the dye pot. Janice
I like that. Sewing the last stitch and the last button on the last day of the month. The jacket looks great and I'm so curious how the Black Walnut dye will change the colour.
It is a wonderful jacket. Can't wait to see it dyed. Hope it turns out like Linnie's. Her jacket is beautiful. You are an amazing seamstress...and doll maker
I am so impressed. I can't follow a sewing pattern to save my life. Then I try to go rogue and it gets worse from there. Your jacket is remarkable and I cannot wait to see it dyed.
What a good job you did - it's beautiful, perfect! I look forward to seeing the finished color, but - this one that you're copying - it looks dirty to me, rather than a darker color. Why don't you just put it on and roll around in the dirt with your dog? ;-)
Well all the "lasts" are destined to be matched with beautiful "firsts," I'm certain. It is so very lovely. And how fitting that it will be bathed in nature's colors. ~Robin~
wow amazing! Can't wait to see it dyed

What a great job with your jacket. Walnuts make a good dye.
The jacket and the buttons look so pretty! Cant wait to see how the walnut dye makes it look!
