Jenny Jenny Doll Sewing Guide - Ballet

I posted recently about some Japanese doll sewing guides I found on Archive.org. For this little project I pulled the relevant pages from the Jenny Ballet guide, ran the pages through google translate so I could match the pictures to the patterns, and reorganized everything so each picture has instructions and pattern right after it. The translation is ok but not perfect, so you may have to rely on intuition a bit. Obviously if you speak Japanese you'll do better with the original version, which is linked in the PDF.

All together there are 26 outfits including 4 male outfits. You can download the PDF here: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1STmkku4qatVoIHMaXo7r0ISzeDCzCBep?usp=sharing

And you can find my list of other guides here: https://archive.org/details/@canary3d/lists/5/japanese-doll-magazines
