Four New 1/12th Scale Miniature Prams

Hello mini friends...

Hope you are all well.  I expect the next thing on your mind will be Christmas.  Our house is already full to bursting with gifts for the children and grandchildren... my better half always says "this year we won't buy them so much" and then promptly purchases the earth and the moon on a stick for everyone lol.  I'm all excited and we've not even hit December yet.  I love Christmas though and can't wait to see the little one's faces as they open their gifts.  I make all the family come found to my house ultra early just so I can watch everyone open their pressies :)  Ah I love it!

Well since we last talked I've made four prams all for the same customer, and all different and one of them became my favourite because it was so unusual - this one was a mini version of a real life pram and I had to re-create the fabric and print it myself.  Here they are...

I made a little blue pushchair with a rain cover and foot-muff.  I have made several like this one and I printed the fabric specially .

I made a red and grey twin pushchair with seats that recline individually.  As always the wheels move and the harnesses unfasten so that the dollhouse babies can be secured safe and sound.

I made a little lemon reclining pushchair with a removable play tray complete and sippy cup.  This is a favourite among customers and in the future I have plans to bring out a kit that will allow me to make these prams with reversible handles.

Lastly the pink pram is my favourite and I love it.  This pram is based on my customers own photograph and I made a pattern in miniature that very closely resembled the real life one.  This is as cute as ever and I think I may bring out some new prams in the future with more interesting designs like this.

In my next post I intend to show you the massive improvements I've made to my carriage prams by testing out new materials and researching and also going on a huge learning curve.
Talk soon.
