Christmas Clothing for Rent

I have 3 Santa costumes: one in red corduroy, one in red velour and one red velvet. There are size XL to 3 X. They have black boot spats, white gloves, black belt and Santa wig and beard. I have a couple of Santa bags and jingle bell strips too. The suits rent for $20.00. Sometimes small children get excited when they see Santa & wet on his leg, then I have to get the suit dry cleaned so I charge $30.00.
I have a plush red cape with white trim for Mrs Santa. It comes with a blouse, skirt, mop cap, white wig & apron.
I have some elf collars & hats.
I have quite a few white dresses & skirts for Angel costumes with small wings.
I also have costumes that would work for the 3 wise men & shepherds.
I have a Frosty the Snowman costume.
And various costumes for carolers.

Pi Rat Photos







Pirates of Penzance was a fun costume challenge. There were 21 in the cast with 13 costume changes.
I sewed 2 new dresses and redid 7. We borrowed the night gowns and police jackets from Denise Wheeler. What a life saver! Mrs. Wright sewed a pirate shirt & Maureen O'Brien sewed a dress.
Three pirates were added to the show and then one more. The last pirate had to wear what was left. (which we didn't end up using, but I will finish sewing it and use it for a rental)Unca Chris took the photos, he has a marvelous camera.

The Pi Rates!

La Grande High School students will perform in “The Pirates of Penzance” Thursday through Saturday at the La Grande High School auditorium.

Show time is 7 p.m. Tickets are $7 for adults and $5 for students and are available at the door or in advance at Sunflower Books or the LHS office.

The musical by Arthur Sullivan and W. S. Gilbert stars Frederick (Travis Rasmussen) as a 21-year-old man who has finished his apprenticeship with fellow pirates. He leaves the pirates who raised him and ventures into the world.

The young, beautiful maiden, Mabel (Noelle Goodenberger) catches his eye.

Alas, there is an obstacle to their love — Frederick was born in a leap year, which means he still remains a pirate.

Audience members will see the handsome, though somewhat limited pirate king (Miguel Gomez), the fast talking major general (Donovan Durfee) and the very limber sergeant of police (Quentin Durfee).

Watch Frederick do an Elvis impersonation; the major general speed talk with excellent rhymes; the police crew gyrate to their slap stick dancing; and listen to the pirate king with an award-winning flute solo.

A cast of 22 students will perform.

Denise Wheeler and Kevin Durfee are directing the play.

Pirate costumes




Avast! I've been working on some costumes all the live long day. These are for the High School musical. We are doing Pirates of Penzance. ARRRRRGH!
It will be performed Dec. 1st, 2nd & 3rd.
Look sharp now me hearties. The Major General needs more gold, it doesn't look military enough.

The Pirate King needs more buttons on the cuffs & his belt tightened. We haven't made the hats for the girls yet. Ruth needs more padding, she is supposed to be matronly looking. I suppose we will have to add wrinkles too. What think ye? Do you be wanting to walk the plank? yo ho!
