Blue and White Jacket

Trying to add to Penelope's wardrobe, I decided to revisit a crazy jacket pattern. Every time I sew this jacket, I say that I will never make another one because of the 14+ pieces required to create this 2.5 inch tall Blythe jacket. This time around, it was a weeeeee bit easier to sew, but I don't think I could make this tiny thing on the sewing machine...it would get eaten up in 5 seconds by that hungry beast. *chomp** chomp*

Penelope is trying to do her "cool" pose here. :o)

Hi Sylvia...thanks for your question! These patterns are from the Japanese Doll Coordinate Recipe mooks (mook= magazine+book). you can find them through ebay, etsy, and some Japanese bookstores. Some people order from hlj (hobbylinkjapan), but I have never tried them before. Hope that helps you and happy sewing! (I think this particular jacket came from DCR#5.)
