I've no problem with people being proud of something they make for themselves, even if it is not perfectly made and there are mistakes that are obvious to the more experienced.
I have problems when aforementioned "badly made" garments are put on a pedestal as something to aspire to.
I also have a problem when there's money involved.
I admit to having a fairly low tolerance threshhold for a certain former Sewing Bee contestant and her blog. It just seems that there is absolutely no critical eye when it comes to the designs and the garments made up from her "patterns". I saw one dress, made from her pattern by a member of her team, that had one sleeve inserted okay, and the other had been rotated in the socket so much, you could SEE the obvious twist. It was rotated back, if I rmember correctly. She'd obviously ignored all the notches (assuming there WERE any) and shoved it in just to get the dress finished.
And it was being presented as a garment to aspire to. It was wonderful. It was a gorgeous example of what can be achieved with her patterns.
No. It was a mess. It was probably really uncomfortable too, and it was something they ought to have spotted and corrected before they put it online. It's not hard to take a sleeve out and put it back in again, for Pete's sake.
A beginner sewist having a go and getting this result, I'd be cheering her on and saying "well done, but let's take a critical look at that sleeve, can you see it's not in the right place?".
A "professional" who's taking money off people should be doing it right.
