Chips and hot chocolate!
Not what I've been eating but what I've been making - welcome to panto.
First day of placement today. Began with helping to unpack costumes for The Glass Menagerie that had arrived from the New Victoria Theatre; once these were all in dressing rooms then I had to hand sew the ends of six giant chips to finish them off. After lunch moved on to help sewing frothy milk and marshmallows onto a cup of hot chocolate. The frothy milk is made of soft net stitched with swirls, with stiffer net underneath to give it some body and the marshmallows (about the size of a tin of baked beans) from foam covered with pink and white fabric. More handstitching to hold everything in place.
Who knows what tomorrow will bring...
