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!  |
For your information...
#1. I did
not know anyone on this forum made and sold the bed.
#2. I did not hear about anyone here making the bed until
after I posted this thread.
#3. Even then
I have never heard a price of the bed made by a YT member/vender until this page!!!!
#4. I had seen the beds online, such as the links i posted on the first page of this thread. The beds were all over $100. I was not willing to pay more than $100 for the bed. So while I was at Evansville, IN. (70 miles form where we live- the closest Hobby Lobby to us) with my daughter , I went to hobby Lobby and bought fabric... it was $26.00. Thinking to myself I would try and make one myself.
#5. I did not say I was inexperienced at sewing, I said I was no "real know how" or no expert. I have sewn and do sew.
#6. I only posted this thread to see if anyone here had made one and had any tips or suggestions and asked about a pattern.
#7. Had I known that a YT member made these for $50 , then I too probably would have went that route in aquiring one. However, as I stated at least 2 other times, I had already purchased the fabric so i think it would be silly for me to buy a bed and not even try to make one after purchasing the fabric to do so.
#8 It's really none of your concern if a family memeber helps me. Is it? Considering my family is close and we do things together all the time. we actually like each other, get along well and have FUN helping each other with things.
#9. You say you were not mad until the Etsy link was posted, What about your first reply to me? You were rude in that one also. "Wow! you spent $30....." (Very rude).
#10. The bed is a pattern is sold by simplicity for anyone to use.
#11. If someone here on YT makes and sells harness dresses, or bows, or beds or whatever, then does that mean no one is allowed to make them? (crazy!)
#12. This is a free Country.. I can buy whatever from whom ever ... whenever. It's really not your say. So if it makes you mad, then i guess you'll have to find a way to get over it. This is not being said with a smart attitude. This would be the same thing I would say to one of my children or one of my Sunday school class kids Or anyone else. It's just the plain truth.
#13. I have no problem purchasing from YT venders/memebers. In fact I already have. I have purchsed some toys/balls, a harness dress, some other dresses from another and some tag holders form another. ...and for your information , i looked at the venders sites, which some links don't open/work. I didn't see these beds for sale on anyone's site.
#14. This thread was never posted with the intent that it would go this direction. It
was a nice , polite thread, at least it started that way.
