Costume Shop Wool Finds!

 














One of things that happens in the costume shop is that we get donations from community members. Today during work we got a huge donation, it was more like part 2 of a donation from the same family. While going through everything I managed to snap a few pictures of some of the woolen pieces we've gotten and hung up so far. 

There's a Pendleton 100% virgin wool matching skirt and top set in lovely colors (mainly turquoise and purple). Then (top right) there was a Pendleton 100% virgin wool button down shirt in red and green. Lastly, there was a wonderful pair of blue wool dress pants, no tag. I'm sure there's a few more treasures in the last box, but I won't know until tomorrow. I love how we sometimes get some really amazing pieces in donations and I'm glad people don't just throw things out and they're willing to donate. It's a great example of sustainable fashion. After we go through the rest we'll then be donating the rest to someone else, it's kind of a nice never-ending cycle. Hopefully it ends up in good hands.

Last Week in the Costume Shop

Today in the costume shop I labeled the rest of the donations we had gotten a while ago and then organized them in piles so that when we go through the boxes we know what is new verses old. After that I took a short break to cool down, the costume shop is not only very warm but also humid, and then began another task. I decided to finally go through all of the thread because it was just a huge tangled mess in a bag. Also we have thread in various places so I wanted to consolidate them and try to organize them by color as well. There were a lot more than I had anticipated, but that's great for the costume shop! It took a little bit of time but the end result was definitely worth it! Hopefully tomorrow will be more exciting, but at least I'm making progress during this last week.
