Part 2 of my Jinbei project! Time to work on the top-portion! 

We all know that going down rabbitholes can lead to some surprising searchresults and one such result happened to lead me to a website with all kinds of free PDF sewing patterns, among them were these free Jinbei sewing patterns. Having looked at buying Jinbei myself but not knowing for sure which size to get, I thought I could easily make my own instead! 
Let's go on this sewing adventure together! 

** DISCLAIMER** 
Whilst the jinbei pattern looked quite accurate to me, when comparing to traditionally tailored or purchased jinbei, I may have made alterations to suit my own needs rather than adhering to what tradition calls for. Since there are no sewinginstructions with this pattern, it's difficult to know what is done traditionally with making jinbei and what isn't. 
I sadly can't vouch for the accuracy of the other patterns as this is the only one I've tried out so far.
