I recently started sewing and soon as I made my first outfit for my pup the first thing I wanted to do was share it in this forum! Right now I only make stuff for my own dogs, but seeing as I keep making things and she is never going to outgrow them I might eventually sell/give them away. But I don't think that is a reason to not be able to post.
I stalk this forum all the time for new ideas, and love to see what everyone else makes. If I am ever planning on buying something I always go to the for sale section, so I feel like I'm not really influenced in buying from the fashion forum. If I had to look in multiple places to see what other people were making just because they might be selling it I feel like it would make me much less likely to look here at all. I want to see people's fabric/fashion ideas. Not that they were selling that particular item for x dollars.

So IMO that is what this forum is for, Showing new ideas/fashions/clothes handmade by you, someone else, or bought. Nothing to do with who the item is or might be going to, but where it came from.
(also I am a big fan when people share that chain stores are having sales, it is a big help to me because I don't always remember to look at the ads, I would be very sad if we weren't able to post sales anymore)
