I loved working with this antique mohair, it's amazing how your mind can make up stories about the garment that this mohair came from!  It dates from the late 1800's to the very early 1900's and originally came from Germany, then on to the U.K. where I purchased it from Norbeary Fabrics.  They still have quite a few pieces available, too!
Clara's vintage hat and coat were found in a local doll shop.   She's currently on ebay and here is her link:

Have a wonderful weekend!

Thank you so much for your kind comments!  She's so different for me and I am sitting on pins and needles wondering if she will be well received.  Thank you for helping me feel better about her, you are so kind!

She looks beautiful!         I would have been so nervous cutting that fabric!

Thank you so much for your kind words Pauline and Louise.  I thought I might be afraid to use the fabric but it is really very sturdy and strong!  The backing is quite thick!
