Mabel, Mollie and Rupert

Coming up are some more baby name pictures including the 'Mabel' I recently made. I was soooooooooooo tempted to keep hold of it as I've never made a picture for my Mabel. Well actually that's not completely true. The first ever fabric picture I made was an 'M' for Mabel. I did it completely free hand with no stencils. It's pretty bad and the font is all wrong, I actually copied it from a mug that we have with an 'M' on it. Here it is below.

'M' is for Mabel - 1940's fabric USA

I love the fabric but I only ever had a tiny piece of it. I'm always keeping my eyes peeled for something similar. 

Here are the baby names, 'Mabel' 'Mollie' and 'Rupert' all three together sound like a children's book, 'Mabel, Mollie and Rupert Go on an Adventure' oh how I'd love to illustrate a children's book. I wonder if I could make one out of fabric cut outs? A bit like those touchy feely type kids books. Hmmmmm could be a cool project. I actually know a talented girl who is writing a kids books at the moment. Fingers crossed I get to help out a bit with the illustrations! (hint hint)

With this last one I really wanted to find a fabric a bit like Rupert The Bear's trousers. This is the nearest I could get and I think it works really well for a boy.
