CoachBuilt Prams | Perfect Elegance

Here is my new Stargazer Quilt Set shown on my Marmet Lady. I wanted to try something different and embroidered the lilies on my sewing machine on the dark navy background and added a crisp white lace frill. The 3D butterflies were also embroidered on my machine stiffened and then attached so that they seem to fultter slightly in a breeze or when the pram is moved. I haven't made a canopy cover for this yet. More photographs below, including some taken with the set on the Marmet Queen so that you can see what it looks like on different coloured prams.

This close up photograph of the large Lily motif on the quilt doesn't show the true colours I'm afraid because it was taken indoors and I have those eco bulbs which tend to give a yellow cast to everything. The photographs taken outside show the true colours I would say.

This is a very pretty Pink Gingham Set

Rose Swag Quilt Set and canopy cover

This is a very pretty quilt set I hope you'll agree. I fell in love with the fabric as soon as I saw it because it reminds me so much of the more traditional dressings for a coachbuilt pram. There weren't many of the really girly, frilly and lacey sets - which we tend to have now - when I was a little girl.

There are 3 distinctly different patterns on this fabric itself and I tried to use all three of them to best effect. There is a pretty double frill around the edge - each finished with rolled hems in a lovely shiny deep pink embroidery thread and then a 3 mm burgundy ribbon. I didn't want to go too OTT with this set and so I left it at that, why guild a lily? The fabric is poly cotton and so very easy care. I make my quilts with a separate removeable quilt inside a quilt cover and so this makes laundering very easy too.

Embroidered    Rose Set

This is   a beautiful set, extravagant without being   overly fussy.   There is a large   rose spray embroidered in beautiful shiny thread    onto the    main   part of the quilt and also on the pillowcase.    On the quilt turnback there is a little   butterfly   which   is repeated here and there on the canopy cover too.   I just love this frothy    lace, it is so different!

Pillowcase

This is the Butterfly Canopy Cover which I made to match the embroidered rose set

I added various motifs of butterflies to the cover, along with one or two 3D butterflies which do tend to move and flutter with the movement of the pram or the slightest breeze.

Another embroidered Rose set in red.

The butterflies on the canopy were completed in colours to tone with the red rose.

White Broderie Anglais   set for   large    coachbuilt pram,   trimmed very simply with   blue 3 mm   ribbon. The   fabric is top    quality traditional    5 hole   broderie anglais, in   pure white.

I thought this might be more suitable for the little boys than the very frilly   'pink' things that I am usually making.   There are no   rosebuds   on this set, just a couple of bows here and there. This    canopy cover has a cheeky little   frill instead of the   usual fringe to the edge of the canopy. I think it looks lovely on the Wedgwood pram.

Bobble   pram covers.   I made this pattern for    crochet   pram covers from an   old crochet pattern   that I   found from the 70's and gradually it evolved   to   what it is   today.    It takes me a minimum of    2 weeks to make these, that's as long as I   am not up to my eyes in other things, because I do them in my 'spare'   time! ;-)

I can make them in any     colour, but at the moment I have    a navy   and   cream one and also a    white one with lemon and blue   bobbles, which are both finished.

                                                                   Contact me   for details

Gingham Pram Quilt Set and Canopy

A fresh, crisp and clean look for a new quilt and canopy set. Shown here on my Marmet Queen, this canopy is 22 inches wide.

I liked this set so much that I have decided to make one for my own pram.

Corner Detail

Silver Leaf Pram Set and Canopy This is a beautiful pram set made in white taffeta material with leaves embroidered on it in silver metallic thread. I finished this set with silver ribbon and white fringing to the canopy.

Twinkly Set

This set was made very recently from a material which has glitter bonded to the surface of it, it really catches the light. I got the beautiful lace from America. It is trimmed with very narrow lilac ribbon and rosebuds.
