Sewing Links

Papupepo It's an old and very good Japanese sewing and pattern site for Licca and Jenny.
A note on printing the patterns:
These patterns are in centimeters, and were scanned at a resolution of 37.8 pixels per cm. If your image editor only prints at standardized photo lab sizes, paste them into an 8X10 inch photo scaled to 37.8 pixels per cm, that's 768x960 pixels.

Print it as an 8X10, the scale is preserved.
