I've Got Washing To Do...

I've Got Washing To Do...

Posted by Mandy - The Littlest Costume Shop. on 6th Mar 2020

Last year, (when I was still dropping off my youngest at the school gates) I'd get asked, "What are you up to today?" and quite often I'd reply that I had 'washing to do'. Half way through the day, I'd realise they probably assumed I was running socks and undies through the washing machine.

Well.....no.  I'm more likely to be up to my elbows in soggy sequins, hand washing wigs or prepping polar bear padding and paws.  I quite like it, which is a surprise, because - full disclosure - I'm anything but domestic.  Sometimes I even take a photo - (I know, I know....my life is sad.)   

Obviously, I know it's boring, but I get a weird satisfaction out of cleaning costumes - I've been known to research the correct way to clean feather boas (I promise I'll tell you another time!) and get excited over new stainless steel pegs.

I've got to go now, the polar bear  padding has been soaking long enough. As long as my family don't expect me to put socks and undies in the wash as well..I said I wasn't domestic.

Why yes....this is the Polar Bear Padding you were looking for!
