TRANSLATIONS

Below are links to working translations I've made for my personal use, of mostly Japanese patterns/sewing instructions for Blythe doll clothes, adult clothes, and recently kids' clothes. These are unofficial working translations that I have made gratuitously, and am sharing free of charge in the spirit of sharing. For intellectual property reasons, they are for personal use only, not for sale, and do not include copies of the patterns or illustrations. My apologies for errors, inaccuracies, or inelegant renderings — I have no formal training in Japanese or translation work, and welcome any advice or corrections. Thank you. (*⌒▽⌒*)～♪
