Well, with Halloween just behind us, I'm wasting no time getting into the Christmas spirit! It's time to transform my Wizard for his seasonal, moonlighting job, as a Santa.
So he stripped down to his undies, and put on his 'fat suit'. I also decided to fine-tune his wig, so it's currently sitting on a heat register drying. I like to work from the inside out, so first thing on the agenda is some pants, and a shirt. I tried one of the JID guy's shirts on him, just to see how it fits, and where I have to alter the pattern to fit.....

The shirt is not too bad a fit, although it won't close over his big belly.
He just looks so different like this! He looks like he should be holding a beer. Or maybe an extra large coffee and a bag with some Tim Horton's, as a trucker heading back to his big rig.

Anyway, I've decided to dress him much like my old cloth Santa figure. I'm not a big fan of the bright red, Coca Cola, department store Santa suits. I much prefer the more traditional, fur-trimmed, Victorian Father Christmas coats and hats, worn with some casual clothing underneath.
"I want a red velvet coat just like your's!"
"I want a red velvet coat just like your's!"
And that's what he shall have!
