Hhhm, a little bit off - i think.

Hey all you ladies. Just a wee small message.

As most know I make lovely warm snuggly carseat/buggy bags.   From these, I make, AT MOST $5 - $10 once I have paid for zips and cotton and material etc. What I do, I do out of kindness and because all you guys are like the family I don't always have and help keep me sane.. and it's a bit of an outlet for my insane housewifey boredom sometimes.

Anyway, this aside. I have had a little note from an anonymous person to say that someone whom I have made one of these cuddlies for.. is doing the same and underselling me. I have yet to find evidence to back this up at all, and am hoping that I never do.

I can't stop you, I have no rights or patents or whatever the heck you need. I can't bagsy the oh-baby ladies, lol.. am not like that. All I am saying is please, don't rip off my idea.. If you feel you need to copy, at least change them a little, this is something I have worked on the design for since long before Paris was born, nearly around 5 yrs or so. It is my idea, my intellectual property.

Am not a grumpy person, am not a person who makes trouble, everyone knows that, but I don't like being taken advantage of either.

Just saying, have a little decency, whoever it is, if it's anyone at all. I made it for you with kindness, not to have idea stolen.

Am hoping there is no-one who would do that kind of thing, if there is, good luck to them in competing with the market.. I have never taken this further as I like to make things as affordable as possible, therefore basically charge for materials only and enough over for a block-a-chocy. lol To make these full time, to market.. would mean the cost rises hugely and who's going to buy homemade when the buggy companies sell them for not too much more.


Sorry ladies for the rant... just hope it's nothing, otherwise think that it's just a bit off really.

these always someone isn't there

ohhhhhhhhh i didn't no you made these will need one for the next baby where can i get some information?????

Hey Ellen, have bumped the post in the sell/trade/exchange post. have decided i can take another few orders as long as peeps are happy to wait till end of august for them.

It's not me - I can't even sew one of hubby's buttons back on his shirt properly - I think you're incredibly talented to do those bags Janine - we are still loving our Connor monkey-moo sack.

But, wow! i had no idea you made them , they sound so cute!!! when i have another baby will definetly be ordering some from you !

Oooh, does that mean soon?

Janine that really sucks. I certainly hope who ever is doing it feels suitably shamed!!!

Oh by the way I wish I had seen these when I had Abby I think they are fantastic and would have loved one. I think they are a fantastic idea.

I have a Janine-cuddly and I love it!! Janine, you are too clever and it sucks that someone would do that to you!

To the person who thinks its cool to rip off other peoples ideas!!! I can sew too, but my ideas and designs for stuff is always radically different from what other people have on the market. I see a gap, then fill it. It would so peeve me off if someone did that to me...

I hope the person stops doing this, or gives Janine a cut of the profit seeing as it was her pattern to begin with.

I think if someone was doing it for their peosonal use that would be differnt, but to be making money off it that is just so wrong.
