I have loved everyting I've gotten from Tinkerbells closet, & ChloeBella. There will be customers for all types of sewing.
In my case I did go out and purchase a pattern at Joann's, it took a few attempts & work to make something that looked good enough for Jazzie to wear.
While it is hard work, when making a cotton dress, it is going to need a velcro latch at the neck & waist. The skirt is going to be attatched at the waist, the d ring is attached to the dress by means of fabric... I don't see how that is copying, it is the steps specified in the pattern, I then modified it a bit so that it would fit without gaps.
When Jazzie wore the dresses I made, people complimented, which made me feel confident enough to sell them, to sell them in hopes of making money to provide Jazzie with the luxating patella/femur surgery that she needs, (Dr. Beale at Gulf Coast Veterinary Hospital,). If I like a fabric that someone else may be selling I try to change it up by adding a different bow or other coloring. If the price is low it is because it is better to sell Low than to sell nothing at all.
There are dog lovers all over this world, it is a huuuuge market for everyone.
I work as an admin in Sales, we see copying all the time, it is said that someone copying your idea is a form of compliment. The instruments my comp. sells are copied by others, we don't go suing. In the end the best made product will sell, the best marketing, the best customer service of the product will be the most sold.
