Debra~this is what I was trying to say in the first place. The OPer said she purchased fabric for $30 and had NO IDEA how to make the bed she linked to her OP. What I was trying to say waaaaaay back on the first page was the for the amount of money spent ($30), needing to also buy a pattern($11), no idea how to make one and needing to ask a relative to help sew it I PERSONALLY WOULD JUST BUY ONE! Maybe I am lazy or that additional $20 or so is just worth it to pay another vendor~possibly even both. I then went on the say that I too had the pattern and felt it was not a beginner or simple pattern to attempt not knowing what you are doing. Somehow what I was originally trying to say has become twisted into huffing and puffing  When someone else mentioned there were YT vendors it wasn't a DEMAND to purchase from them it was a suggestion. It wasn't until a link to Etsy was posted that I felt it was rude. IMO~if I didn't know what I was doing $30 seems to be a lot of money to possibly end up with a pile of nothing. IMO~I would rather put out $50 and actually know I would end up with a nice bed. Separate Subject from the above post since somehow the two beds are being confused.
As for the GE participant who was given Cloud 9 bed and then stole the design~wow  that is even lower than all that she did in this past GE! This bed DOES NOT have a pattern that can be purchased from Simplicity, McCalls, Butterrick, Vogue or any other pattern company. So YES THIS IS STEALING! STEALING FROM A RESCUE!  |
I do understand there are two beds being discussed here. That is why I mentioned: I do understand someone being upset over the case of someone tearing apart a Cloud 9 bed sold for charity to copy it and sell for their own profit. I would have also understood if the FIRST person selling the Simplicity bed here on YT was upset that others were now selling them here. But I did not understand someone that is at least the 3rd person (maybe more in between, not sure) to sell the Simplicity pattern bed here to be upset that someone linked another seller or the pattern. I did not comment on your posts. BUT everyone has the right to their own opinions. The only one that matters more than another is Admin, who has already rung in on the subject.
I felt the same as you did. I can sew if I have to but to risk messing up expensive Minky fabric did not seem worth it to me, when I saw Jencar making such nice beds! But some would rather be able to say "I made it" especially when it is for one of their babies. I was like that with my sons. I had to make them all something --regardless of whether I could buy it cheaper. It was the thought. So, it is all up to the individual on that count.
As far as someone trying to rip off a charity -- seems like that is not just individual opinion -- stinks on all levels!
