My Doll Book
Series



This is a series of paperback craft books published by Nihon Vogue Sha. Most of the Jenny and Licca books have about a dozen patterns each, focused around a title theme. All volumes are long out of print.

The patterns are printed on regular pages, and intended to be photocopied and cut. If you use these books, always make a test copy in cheap fabric first, the fit may be a little different than what you expect or want.

The Dolfie Littles blog has a quick preview of the types of patterns you can expect in each volume: the Jenny patterns, the Licca patterns. The original Japanese retail prices of these books were around $10-15 each.

The publisher donated the Takara dolls and fashions used in the My Doll Book series, and even older Jenny and Jenny Fashion Club sewing magazines, to the Japan Toy Museum in 2008, where they were displayed in the Licca-chan and Jenny's World exhibition.
