I made a (vaguely) historically accurate version of Disney's Robin Hood!

[@autumn7143]

I love all Disney. I’m just an oddball. I loved the villains and supporting characters more than the main ones. My absolute favorite was MarryWeather from sleeping beauty. The blue one.

[@autumn7143]

I loved Robin Hood as a kid and still today. I also loved the sword in the stone. My favorite character being Mad Madam Mim.

[@linr8260]

Experiencing SO much linen envy right now. That fabric is so nice. Anyway Robin Hood was also my hero as a kid, along with Belle. (And am I the only one who felt the irrepressible urge to whistle a little tune during that opening sequence? 🤔)

[@tamaraelfkin]

You are right about the gender fluidity of the character, he was based on the Errol Flynn version of Robyn Hood from old Hollywood and he was known for being probably bi-sexual.

[@Dolthalion]

You're right, and I'd completely forgotten that! Thanks for reminding me!

[@katherinemorelle7115]

Robin Hood was my favourite Disney movie. But if I were to cosplay a Disney character, it would have to be Ursula!

[@tetchedistress]

For some reason, I have images of a red fox and a bear running through the forest.... ooh delaley ooh delaley golly what a day. Thank You for another lovely video. Robin Hood is one of my favorites, but my favorite characters from all the robin hood movies are Alan-a-Dale and Lady Cluck from Disneys 1973 film. Lady Cluck stood up for what was right, and Alan a Dale was one heck of a good bard... Lady Cluck also whacked someone on the head with the golden arrow. Another favorite was Baloo, look for the bear necessities the simple bear necessities forget about your worries... I think I'm going to grab a cocoa and some marshmallows and do a jungle book and robin hood video binge.

[@koreboii]

I was unreasonably attached to Scar as a kid and Jack Skellington is a close second.

[@rosacanisalba]

Oooooooh are we getting a liripipe?

[@lucycannon6732]

Beautifully done, and a great swish! Robin Hood and Lady Cluck were always my favorites!

[@rachelboersma-plug9482]

It comes in two parts?!? You're spoiling us. I loved the whole Robin Hood story as a child. I remember my dad taking me and an assortment of cousins into the city on the train one evening to a little cinema that did cheap re-runs, and we watched Robin Hood. I did like the Robin Hood character, but Maid Marian was my favourite. I'm a bit sad no-one's done her on Costube yet. Opus Elenae, maybe? That green is the perfect shade for a Northern European spring, and I love the outdoor footage. 10:38 - mad swish! My daughter made herself a gores & rectangles linen shift which she wears nearly every day, and she always does that twirl. She, and you, look so happy 😍

[@gabriellagrimaldo6335]

It's a bit basic, but Cinderella was my favorite Disney princess growing up. She and the mice inspired my love of sewing and fashion. As a child, I saw the mice sewing in the movie and I said to myself "I can do that" ; the rest is history. I loved that you included the audio of your sewing, it gives an ASMR vibe to this video.

[@bunhelsingslegacy3549]

"getting the most out of this fabric" oh, do I ever hear you on that one!!! I've been using up stuff from my stash (becuase I'm not allowed to buy new fabric until I complete at least three more things from stash fabric). Fortunately I have been doing mostly rectangles-and-gores dresses and shirts, which are inherently quite fabric-efficient, but since my linen pieces are maybe 2m maximum, I still end up drawing everything over a few times on grid paper before I cut just to see what fits best how and where I can gain or lose a few cm as needed!! 2m makes a comfortable long sleeved dress for me with very little waste. And I generally use a lot of piecing for pockets... I'm pretty sure I have one pocket that's at least six pieces of fabric. And those long backstitched seams and felling, they really ARE satisfying :) And for me it was Fizzgig from The Dark Crystal.

[@lilalicat32]

Robin Hood is one of my favorite Disney movies. Brave comes a close second. Nice job on creative pattern layout to get those sleeves.

[@rebekahslyter954]

This was wonderful please make part 2.

[@juliakrystosek8003]

Robin Hood and Peter Pan hold a place in my tiny self's heart! I love gored tunics, they're so satisfying and easy to put together.

[@BellaEmi1995]

Lovely as always! And maximal swishing is always a wonderful thing!!! Robin Hood was one of the only Disney movies I watched as a kid... so naturaly I loved him and all the other charakters...

[@aletaschulz1108]

Gilbert, I am always relaxed and fascinated while watching you embroider. The rest of your videos are just as entertaining as well as informative. 💚🤗

[@sharonfernandez2739]

Make the hood fancy!

[@tinamoreland434]

Gus-Gus the mouse from Cinderella, and Sampson the horse from Sleeping Beauty

[@mrs.knecro7044]

The clip of your spinning in the under tunic is pure joy honestly and I love it! I’m dipping my toes in to sewing but I’m taking it slow. I can’t say I have a specific character or movie that is a favorite for my. I’ve grown up watching the Disney classics like Robin Hood, I don’t remember watching the Princess movies much to those wouldn’t be it..it would probably be more like Mary Poppins or My fair lady for when I was a kid . As an adult it’s even harder because they have come out with so many more movies it’s so hard to pick one!

[@gigglepantsiii9350]

all of Atlantis is amazing, I just know that if it came out when I was a child I would have burned through the VHS tape from watching it so often

[@eleanorstrong8315]

Your tunics are spectacular! The green is perfect for spring with brown a wonderful complement. 😍 I love watching you sew! Your stitches are perfect and with the sound of the thread moving through the fabric it makes your work very meditative 🧘‍♀️ Thank you for sharing your work.

[@cypriennezed5640]

Love the SWOOSH and the clever fabric buttons!

[@jackiejames4551]

It's really a very nice outfit.

[@baralinni79]

The swish is extraordinary 😍 Looking forward to part 2! And Snow white will always hold a special place in my heart, it was one of the first films I remember watching ❤

[@mariebray9831]

Ok, I'd just watched a news item about Shrek being 20 years old, so seeing a green outfit, my head didn't say Robin Hood first, but then I read the title. I don't have a favourite Disney character, from childhood, we did love watching Dr Who, and my fav is the robot dog K9.

[@coreygilles847]

Oooh! I love how the sleeves are on your outfit! My favorite character as a little kid was Eeyore or Robin Hood...as a teenager it was Mulan... and now I just generally like most cartoons and anime

[@canucknancy4257]

That looks great! Your hand stitching is so lovely. Swishing is essential. I've always adored Maleficent. Thanks so much for sharing! Take care.

[@crochet_kat]

I love Robin Hood! And your version of his outfit is splendid. Happy swishing!

[@cristinavilches4149]

I love stitch too. I wasn't ever really into Robin hood in any iteration. I couldn't ever pick a favorite disney character but some I love are Jiminy Cricket, Winnie the Pooh, and Archimedes from The Sword in the Stone. As a child though, my favorite movies were mostly done by Don Bluth, except The Last Unicorn. Your work is beautiful. Hope to see more soon.

[@TudorositiesbyMaureen]

Well done! Hand sewing the entire outfit. Love the grass green linen, its just lovely. The brown cotton is a good contrast with the texture of the linen. Your stitches are quite lovely. Looking forward to the hood. Favorite Disney Character is Maleficent.

[@catreid1019]

The 60s were. kind of a desert when it comes to animated Disney characters that were people- I remember liking Sleepy Beauty, Tiger Lily, and Tinkerbell. I think my fave animated character was Jonny Quest lol

[@MaryanneNZ]

I love the song about Robin Hood and little John walking through the forest, but it came out at that age when cartoons were uncool. Before cartoons became cool for everyone! My favourite animated movie was Aristocats but I don't have a favourite character. I LOVE LOVE your swishy costume!

[@selkiemorien9006]

I love that combination of colours as well :D It looks great together, good choices and yay for stash fabric! Pretty sure Robin Hood and The Hunchback of Notre Dame were my favorite Disney-Movies as a child (still are probably), I always have trouble picking favorite characters... I did love Hades though xD

[@erinmcgrathejm4985]

I’d say my two favorite Disney movies are the 1998 Mulan and Brave. Merida and Mulan don’t need a man to ’save’ them.

[@judithcollins3744]

GOOD job on making the fabric work for this outfit. Looks great. Am anxious to see how you dress it up. xx

[@MonaSkovJensen]

I enjoyed watching this so much!!! The fabric you used looks so pretty. You made a lovely outfit for Robin Hood!

[@georgannejohnson8187]

What a fun video. I really enjoyed it. My childhood hero was Zorro.

[@megancanada8496]

Robin Hood is one of my all time favorite Disney movie. While I loved all the characters, my favorite was always Lady Cluck. My second favorite is Sleeping Beauty and Merryweather is my favorite character. Apparently, I have a type and it seems to be chubby loudmouth side character in blue. (She says while wearing a blue outfit. Lol)

[@HandyHelons]

You really are so talented! The reenactments from the film at the end rock! My siblings and I still love to sing the songs from Robin Hood at each other from time to time. I’ve just been learning to play ‘not in Nottingham’ on the ukulele 😀

[@HandyHelons]

I hope you are now free from those impeccably well made and awesome looking cuffs!

[@dianacurtis5872]

Mad Madame Mim is my favorite. She never gets any love tho. :( Wonderful interpretation of Robin Hood... cant wait to see more!

[@Dolthalion]

Madame Mim is the best, she was also pretty high on my list of possibilities!

[@playme129]

Another great video, Gilbert. It is always impressive when someone does all the sewing by hand and does not use a simple running stitch. Swish away all you want to! Virginia in Ohio USA

[@brigidscaldron]

SO SWISHY! It's wonderful!!!

[@paulamiller8386]

love a good swish I also love stitch.

[@rosacanisalba]

I love a good swooshing shot!

[@deannastevens1217]

WONDERFUL!!! Excellent content!! SO MUCH WORK!!! You are AMAZING!!!

[@kaylaantonio6460]

Here from Karolina’s page from your gift exchange. Great job on this!

[@koreboii]

Lesbian Robin Hood is now my favorite thing. Thank you for giving me this idea.

[@ragnkja]

It helps that Robin can also be a feminine name.

[@TracyLynnAP]

I love this so much. Thank you

[@yvonneburns2786]

I dare you to make Sir Hiss's costume

[@erithefaerie6262]

Yes yes yes yesssss!!!!

[@SeSeMittens]

I love your dry sense of humor :D My favourite Disney characters are Cinderella and Yzma from the emperors new groove - I know it's a strange combination xD

[@deannastevens1217]

Holy Crapazoids. I've missed so much. The YT does NOT tell me there is a new episode from anyone. I don't know what is wrong but I will look for yours moe closely.

[@annafatima]

Swoooosh! LOVE. IT. The colours are perfect. I did some mending with drawn threads earlier this week, and have done before that but never heard of anybody else who did. I find that linen is the only material that works though. Do you think that silk might work with more than one thread twisted together?

[@Dolthalion]

Possibly! I think the reason it works so well with linen is that it's so easy to draw threads in the first place. I was having to twist two threads to make the linen work for this, so it'd be worth trying with silk at the very least! The question becomes where it becomes too much work to be worth while.

[@sharonfernandez2739]

Wonderful!

[@aletaschulz1108]

Sound kept blanking out while you explained what you were doing. 🤗💚

[@Dolthalion]

Unfortunately I didn't have sound for all of the sewing, if that's what you meant! I need to remember to turn my music off more often!

[@aletaschulz1108]

@@Dolthalion I thought you were still talking but the sound cut off....if you weren't recording, how about either a public domain bit of music or some pop up comment on screen that lets us know that you aren't recording any comments until a bit further along your project. "A little meditative sewing for a bit...." I was concerned that your sound system was going on strike. I am relieved that it was you just not recording. 💚🤗

[@billiebluesheepie2907]

I don’t have any favourite Disney characters, Walt Disney was an evil man and crapped on everyone around him, including his much more talented brother. Oh, and he sucked up to the Nazi party too. (I still watched all your video though!)

[@sgussy]

Wow great video.
