running world cup advert
I felt so privileged to work on this TV advert. I look back on this job with a big smile on my face, and think: holy moly did I just talk to Jessica Ennis, Wayde van Niekerk and Usian Bolt?!! These are athletes I look up to. Pretty amazing experience.
For this advert, me and my colleague Lydia Kovacs had to dress the cast. I made a South Africa inspired running top for one of the cast members, then sewed fishing thread into Usain's PUMA tracksuit sleeves and joggers, so that we could pull the tracksuit off him.
My final task was to sew two beanies into Usain's running shorts to save his bum getting too cold when he sat down!

Here am I unpicking the beanies I sewed in his running shorts.



I made this top and was worn in the advert
