There were a couple of jobs I have did:
- Sewed by machine tons of black/white collars, can't remember what this for.
- I sewed by hand the label on dresses same this dress which was quite heavy.
- Me and my friend Lucy were transferred to another place to help dye/break down the victorian era costumes. I grated, brushed and made them dirty by putting them on the floor and standing on them with my shoes. I found it really interesting and a lady named Cheryl showed me how to make them dirty, she added varnish on costumes to help the dust such as earth/coal to stick to them. There were over 10k costumes in these rooms for dying/breaking down.
Later that afternoon, the Artistic Director named Danny Boyle (he worked on the films - The Beach, Slumdog Millionaire and others) came to the breaking down room with the Designer, Suttirat Anna Larlarb to check the costumes to see if the damage was good enough. (I saw that he was happy with it) I was excited to meet him and we had some photos taken of us (Lucy, me, Danny Boyle and 2 girls that I hardly knew). He was so lovely and calm.
After the Opening Ceremonies finished and I found this book called London 2012 Olympics Games Opening Ceremony Programme and I FOUND my name in it and I was tearful and was so pleased with myself.
