The idea of dyeing the velour curtains which I found in the loft to make a Santa suit never got off the ground. The red dye would have been far too expensive and there was no guarantee that the dye would take.
I would have also needed to buy a pattern, white fur fabric and a wig/beard.
So: Back to square one and 3 days of internet searches to find something in the right size and price range. This resulted in prices for suits ranging from £6.99 (wear once) to £400.00 (shopping mall quality). Finally I found a company in Guernsey who make XL Santa suits at a reasonable price which include Jacket, Trousers, Belt, Boot Tops, Hat, Wig, Beard and Glasses. It's on it's way.
Now he has something to wear, Father Christmas has been booked and will be handing out sweets to the audience as they leave the show each night.
