Great work. I like the way you have been able to make the the pram stable and still lift it from the floor I have made a couple so far, but as yet haven't lifted the actual pram from the wheels. Will have to try harder in the future.  ;)

This is one I did a few weeks back will add colour next time. A little wonky but pleased as a first attempt.

Last weekend I had a last minute booking come in for a christening and knew what was going to happen next...they were going to ask for a dreaded pram. As you can see I have had a couple of attempts in the past to get it right and with each time I have improved on something along the way. (Well at least I think I have ;) ) I don't really like making prams as I have had a problem in the past trying to raise them from the floor and actually make it look like it should. I have been able to build on the same basic design and also incorporate Antonio's pinch line into the hoody bit, which has made the edging stand out better. I also like the idea of the handle coming up and the placement of it seemed to work too. Now we come to the difficult bit...How to raise it? Looking at some pictures of prams I managed to get the basic shape of the 'undercarriage' and tried it with 160s and it seemed to work well until I got to the middle joint and then down to the wheels. Unfortunately time being a factor I had to leave the pram as shown however the customer was more than happy with it and never even noticed that the wheels weren't there. But this is something that though I hate making prams, I feel I should revisit in the future just for the sake of trying to work it out and get it right.
