"My Favourite Doll Book" Series
[ click on thumbnail for bigger image ]
"My Favourite Doll Book" Series are a series of Jenny and Licca-chan pattern/sewing books published by Heart Warming Life.
Though not directly related to SDs and similar dolls, Jenny/Licca-chan patterns can be enlarged (approx. 200~250%) to fit SDs ^_^ (Though please remember that Jenny/Licca-chan dolls are not similar in shape.. so some tweaking will be necessary for a good fit..)
Here are just a few books I own out of the entire collection
(Jenny dolls have more than 18 books to date and Licca-chan ones also have that many..)

Licca-chan Casual & Cute Clothes (vol. 11)
ISBN: 4-529-03708-8
Price: 1200 yen
This is the only Licca-chan version I own ^_^, simply because Licca-chan outfits are generally cuter (like the dolls themselves ^_~) as compared to Jenny ones. Like it's name, this vol. has alot of adorable street wear (denim skirts and cute tops), and a bear body-suit, along with bunny fur coats and lolita dresses. They also have some light punk wear =3
Instructions are printed and easy to understand even without Japanese knowledge. Patterns are relatively simple. Good for beginners ^_^

Jenny Casual Wear (vol.18)
ISBN: 4-529-04044-5
Price: 1800 yen
This vol. has patterns for lingerie, pajamas, and Japanese school uniforms (including PE, summer and winter ones ^_~) as well as cool long jackets, buckle-pants, and alot of hoodies xD;.
However, instructions are minimally illustrated, and are mainly explained in text. The patterns are not tough, so it's not necessary to read the Japanese, but for beginners it might prove to be challenge.

Jenny Casual Dress (vol.14)
ISBN: 4-529-03707-X
Price: 1200 yen
Like it's title, this vol. has mainly casual wear, including some "rock" street wear, a how-to-make Jenny sized guitars section, as well as pea-coats, a gothic-like corset dress, a maid outfit, and even a cow-boy outfit o_o;
Instructions are printed, and relatively well-drawn. Good for beginners-intermediate sewers ^_^

Jenny Hand-made Dress Lesson (vol.7)
ISBN: 4-529-03173-X
Price: 1200 yen
This vol. has patterns for Chinese Dress, Parkas, Diving suits, Jenny Hakama, Wedding dress and more.
The instructions are all hand-drawn, and might be abit confusing. The patterns would be better for intermediate sewers.
