2. Geronimo Stilton
Geronimo Stilton's jacket was a quick make from Burda Boy's Classic Button-Up Blazer 02/2015 #142. So quick that I didn't get the pockets on or buttons in the sleeve vents. Wonder if I should bother doing that after the event?? I didn't line the jacket. I am not that familiar with sewing jackets and when I went to look up some instructions in my sewing books for how to do the collar and lapels, I realised that there was no way I could absorb that information and do it properly in my very short time frame, so it really is a bodge job. It fits pretty well. The fabric is a cotton chamois that was an internet purchasing mistake back in 2007. I am pleased to be finally rid of it from my stash.
Geronimo made his own tie.
Geronimo's mask was a lot of fun. I downloaded the pattern for a fox mask from Wintercroft and we didn't stick the ears down to make it a bit more Geronimo-like.

In this age, when we are always looking for free stuff on the web, these masks are fully worth the asking price. They are seriously cool. I'm trying to think of an occasion where I could wear a mask, just so I can make one for myself. Perhaps I am thinking of it all wrong and shouldn't be looking for an occasion. Perhaps I could get about in a unicorn mask in my everyday?

Yeah - go the mask!
Those masks are seriously great and really they seem like a bargain. I say go the mask. I also think you have done a great job on those lapels.
Great costumes!! And the jacket looks great.
Of course, the mask is too cute...I hope my daughter, who is a Stilton fan, won't see this!!!
I wish my kids had had bookweek parades. I remember some of the books they read and imagine the neat costumes I could have sewed. Both of your costumes look great. I love the mask.
Blog photos are the perfect occasion to sport a unicorn mask!
Great idea! I think I'll do that.
