Ultra Modern Mini Pushchairs & Pram



Hello Mini Friends...

I have a lot to show you this post... I have been working hard designing new frame for my pushchairs and new wheels.  I wanted something that was more straightforward to put together and yet looked very modern.  I spent a long time researching modern pushchairs and then started 3D designing on my computer and once I had a few components designed I set about printing some of them on my 3D printer.  This process is lengthy since one has to get all the dimensions spot on for a good fit and as with all minis often the naked eye is a much better judge of size so this process continued with me making millions of parts in all different sizes and making endless notes along the way till I had something that actually looked good and fitted together well. 

The next stage was to perfect the new style for the carrycot section of the pram.  I wanted to use my last modern pram as inspiration for the new style and I coupled this with more 3D printing to give shape and stability.  Wait till you see my next new pushchairs, they will have completely new shapes and frames but for now though I used my tried and tested pushchair patterns for the seat section.  Next month I will add in a new feature of a seat that will change position.

As I was busy creating these new frames I also decided to make a simple pushchair kit that even the novice crafter can put together and these will be available in my shop very soon so keep an eye out for them.

So, in my shop this week are three new pushchairs and one new pram.  Two pink unicorn pushchairs, one with a Peter Rabbit lemon stripe print and the pram is in royal blue with a check print fabric. 

Here come the pictures...

Hope you like them :)

And here are my new kits...

 

Now I am working on a twin, side by side pushchair/pram with a new style seat frame and I also want to try and fulfill the requests for 1/6th scale pushchairs so for those who like playscale I may have some nice new pushchairs for you in a month or so. 

That's all for now.

Twin Carriage Pram and Modern Pram



Hello mini friends,

As always I have been quite busy but I have managed to make two new minis somewhere in between the crazyness of life, even if I am a little late in showing you them.  

The first is a twin version of the Balmoral style carriage pram I make.  I was asked by a lovely customer if I could create a twin version, as I had wanted to do this for some time I decided I would craft it for her.
The pram has the usual features of being fully lined and gently padded inside with collapsible hoods and a removable apron.  I may one day bring out some twin carriage pram kits but it won’t be this year since I have so many other things on the go but the good news is I do have some single carriage pram kits in stock (and more almost ready) and these are available in my shop, just click this link: http://www.teenytinythings.co.uk/item.php?name=411

Here are some pictures of the twin pram...

I also created a very modern style pram that was a sort of cross between an Egg pushchair (frame) with a Venicci style body.  This pram required an entirely new pattern and took quite a lot of time to get the apron to sit just right. 

This picture shows you the amount of tiny adjustments I made to each pattern before finally perfecting it.




I created bigger back wheels to compliment the smaller front ones as I wanted this pram to look really modern and I think this had the desired effect.  I intend to make some single pushchairs using this frame and sell them in my shop very soon. 

Here are some pictures.

Well that’s all for now.  I am attending university at the moment and along with all those other things that us busy woman have to juggle so it does not leave me much time for crafting but I expect I’ll be back in full mini swing later in the year and if I'm honest, I can't wait! :)

Big mini hugs,
