She is excited about the imminent arrival of her dear Godfather, the magician and toymaker Drosselmeyer. Little does Clara know of the magical journey that is soon to unfold at her feet…

Clara doll is seamless in construction. No fiddly sewing up required! The skirt is worked separately and stitched in place on completion. This is a 6 page pattern with many clear helpful photographs.
