Anime Cooks of Thanksgiving: Uniform Courses - 'Yakitate! Japan'

Day 2 of 'Anime Cooks of Thanksgiving!' ^^ Hope you're all hungry for rolls because the costume recipe for the day is from a little-known anime called 'Yakitate! Japan.' What's it about you ask?

It's about this kid named Kazuma Azuma who wishes for Japan to have its own bread (like French bread or German sourdough) dubbed 'Ja-Pan,' so he decides to work at a bakery and enter different contests with his co-workers. On the show, he also possesses 'Solar Hands,' in which his hands are warmer than normal, thus making the bread dough ferment faster.

Anyway, the uniforms for the factory of the show are shown below.

Here's a picture of Kazuma. He'll be the model for the boys' uniform.

Here's one of his co-workers, Tsukino Azusagawa. She'll be the model of the girls' uniform.

Here's how to create these freshly-baked costumes:
  • A loose-sleeved turtleneck shirt (blue for boys, pink for girls)
  • Blue pants (boys)/red skirt (girls)
  • Blue and white ribbon (boys)/red ribbon (girls)
  • Pink socks (girls)
  • White shoes (girls)
  • White faux fur (girls) *think Santa fur*
  • Blue (boys) or red (girls) fabric markers
How to make them:
  1. Grab the turtleneck shirt and some blue or red ribbon, shiny side up. Line the cuffs, collar and bottom of the shirt with it and either sew or iron it on (left for boys, right for girls). For the girls, do the same for the skirt and socks. I highly recommend sewing the ribbon and fur on.
  2. Put on a work shirt and the turtleneck and grab a fabric marker (blue for boys, red for girls). Have a friend or parent draw circles on it for the buttons and a 'P' for 'Pantasia,' the bread factory on the show. Take it off, so the work shirt can come off.
  3. Time to get dressed! For the boys, any blue pants can work, just no designs. As for the girls, grab any plain white sneakers. Tie on some ribbon (salmon-ish pink for girls, white for boys) and you're done! ^^
Now you're ready to make some bread for the feast~

Next character: Jun Satou (Working!!)
