I really have limited knowledge on anime characters;( anyone can identify the character names for mi?

Gonna modify the school uniform blazer from a long sleeve shirt pattern n the collar from a seifuku pattern... Material is polyester provided by customer.

And for the guy cos, I modded the pattern from a guy t shirt pattern. That the only guy measurement sewing pattern I have... Keep disturbing my hubby to compare against him... Lol cos is the first time tailoring a guy cos for a real guy. Hope it turns out fine...
Material is poly with satin white bias tape.

Updates: purple base is completed. Looks a bit short though;( must ask cus to come fitting n alter on the spot if needed.

Updates: school uniform is completed... I love the material! Very easy to sew! Bt dunno how much does it cost...

A jersey jacket for my Sis;)

After my sister saw the vocaloid luka jacket I tailored for my customer, she also like to have 1 for herself. Not for cosplay of course, just As a casual wear. So we went down to get the fabric together n she choose this lovely violet jersey knit... Add a touch of lace to the pocket n I gonna add a bow brooch for the left chest area.
For the sewing pattern, I modded it from a jap magazine hooded jersey dress sewing pattern...
Will upload a tutorial on how to sew a basic hooded jacket in my next post.
Do keep a lookout for it n kindly help me by clicking on my google ads o! Thank u!
