Bill Hudson Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 Today I was digging through a storage box I had packed when we moved ten years ago. This is some of my finds. Future projects to finish and sell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill Hudson Posted December 6, 2014 Author Share Posted December 6, 2014 Elga, these are doll buggies. They are generic, designed from pictures in a 1898 catalog and from photos of a ladies doll buggy she had when she was a child. I got my measurements from a buggy in and antique shop. I don't think the design and construction methods have changed much in all the years. Below is a photo of the doll buggy compared to one of my prams (also still to be finished). I will be starting on inkle trim for the pram soon. The doll buggies will be started when I can design better top frame and find extremely fine leather. Actually most of the doll buggies had cloth tops so might go that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
