Sheriff of Nottingham – school play 2017

How many parents make a fully lined jacket with a fitted fur cape for a school play? I must admit I was quite pleased with it. After SATs the Year 6 class do a school production. When it was going to be Robin and the Sherwood Hoodies, I automatically assumed my son (Robin) would audition for Robin…. He didn’t! And funnily enough the other Robin in the class didn’t either! No, my Robin auditioned to be the Sheriff of Nottingham!!

I definitely had an Alan Rickman version of the Sheriff in my head, and Robin definitely had a bit of an evil streak in his version too.

I adapted the previous ‘planes’ jacket I had made in black fabric and used some of the fake fur fabric (I had bought with ‘Time’ in mind) for a cape. I turned out quite well I think.

Here he is with the version of him that gets put through the wringer in the dungeon:
