Clothes for Girls – Japanese Sewing Book

A while back I mentioned that I would post some pics of my Japanese sewing book for girls. According to YesAsia (where I purchased the book) the translated title is, “Clothes for Girls- Camisole, Neat Dress (with paper pattern).

I absolutely LOVE this book. All of the styles are absolutely lovely and simple…just right for a little girl. I could easily see myself making all of the patterns in this book over the next couple of years (until my girls won’t wear what I make for them.) Here’s a photo that shows all of the patterns that are included:

Lots of cute skirts, dresses, and tops. A jacket. And of course a hat and some bags to accessorize!  But, a girl has to start somewhere, so I decided to give little skirt a go….

with this top…..

Here are the instructions…all in Japanese. I’ve looked over the diagrams and I’m pretty sure it’s basic enough for me to do without alot of instructions. Let’s hope. ;)

The skirt and top are for my 2-year-old, and then for my 3-year-old I plan on making this dress. I love it when their clothes coordinate in some way.

So cute! I really hope I can manage these patterns. I’ll try to pop in and keep you up as I go along.

See ya soon!
