Wow Daphine you don't stop do you

Six months later.....

We have other WAHM's to cover here, but Daphene has once again lowered herself to new lows. She has been banned from Sewing Mamas for creating false identities and bidding up prices on her own fabrics. Also for stealing the diaper designs and pictures from PWP.

She went ahead and asked some people to buy on SM for her, telling them that for some reason her IP address was blocked there. Why yes it was, she was banned!!! (see above) When people bought fabric from here at SM (some as high as $54/yd), they sent it to her. She used a bit for the diaper and kept the rest, with no refund. She's backtracked and put the new 'policy' in her shop rules. In our opinion that's stealing. She's using the fabric to make more diapers with those hard to find fabrics.

She's taking advantage of those who have good hearts. Why is this allowed to continue? Why is she still selling on Hyena Cart? You'll have to ask Karen that question. But our guess is that she won't answer.

Daphene is allowed to do anything she wants to drive up the links to Hyena Cart is our guess. Or perhaps Karen has some stake in keeping it going. Nevertheless, mamas are being scammed yet again and over and over. Karen coudln't care less. We'll never shop at HC again.

Need lots of "she took my fabric and I never got a diaper" stories? You won't find them on Hyena Cart or on Stinky Couture's site but here's a boat load:

Who are we?

So we can't help but notice all the assumptions being made about us here at WAHM Hall of Shame. We are not who you think we are. We are NOT diaper makers and never have been. Our children are grown. We do not have a cart at Etsy or Hyena Cart.

We purchased from time to time then this came to our attention. Some bad WAHM's cannot be ignored. We don't focus on those who are lazy or incompetent, just those who are out to make a buck and scam the sewing and diapering community.

Cheers,
Caren

Stinky Couture, SHAME on you.

"Daphene" is a scamming wahm, and hurts all other honest wahm's.

She had 4 user names at Diaper Swappers that were all banned for "having multiple user names and leaving false feedback." The user names at Diaper Swappers are Daphne M, Pixel, Ned & Poppy.

Posh.baby and sk8tergirl on Sewing Mamas are identities used by Daphne M of Stinky Couture.

Before being banned, Daphne of Stinky Couture used "pixel" to ask people questions about Goodmamas and Mutts including "So how do you snap a mutt?" "Can I see a pic of a Mutt laid out?" before she (Daphne/SC) started making one sized diapers.

'Daphne' also used the "pixel" user name to leave false raves and feedback about her own (Stinky Couture) diapers.

Daphne of Stinky Couture also stole fabric pictures from others, lied about where she bought fabric and copied text from Patchwork Pixies website.

Daphne/Stinky Couture had at least one more ID at the Hyena Cart forums and left false feedback for herself (below)

Here are some of the known identities of Daphne/Stinky Couture:
Same person:

posh.baby at SewingMamas
sk8ergirl at SewingMamas
Stinkycouture.com
Stinky Couture at HC
Daphne M. at DiaperSwappers
pixel at DiaperSwappers
Daphne M. again at HC
posh.baby on eBay

Here are the IP addresses as posted at Diaper Swappers:
* *Daphne M.* 216.17.156.52
* *Daphne/Ned* 216.17.156.52
* *pixel * 216.17.156.52
** poppy * 216.17.156.52

Buyer Beware. She has artificially risen the demand, desire and price of her diapers by creating 'feedback' about her diapers.

Hyena Cart forums delete any threads of drama nature.

Here are the 2 phony (now deleted) feedbacks she left for herself at HC under an alias -

Quote:

When and where purchased: Jan / stinkycouture Specific item: side snap fitted Customer service: Wonderful! Item shipped promptly and Daphne emailed me when it shipped and sent a follow up 'thank you'. Product review: A perfect fit! Super trim, fits like a glove. Well suited for my heavy wetter without leaks. Oh, and the stitching is flawless!

When and where purchased: January / stinkycouture.com Specific item: SC Multi Fitt (3 pack) Customer service: A wonderful wahm! Follow up emails sent, updates sent promptly. Product review: Crazy beautiful and super squishy/yummy! Absolutely our all time fav one size diaper. Not only does this diaper fit our 6 month old but also our 14 month old. Both babies stay dry even through naps without a cover. A good thing as I hate to cover them! Oh and the fold over snap flap, GENIUS! No more red marks like with the GM, sold the WB so I can get the Fixx! Love the fold over cover so so much!

We would think that at the least you would get banned from the Hyena Cart forums for this kind of behavior. She even threw in a dig at a competitor in the fake feedback

Update:
Karen who owns HC has stated that she won't do anything about this particular WAHM, as she has no "concrete proof". And none of this 'happened on the HC". She has been given all the information and has refused to do anything. You can see her response on page six. Buyer beware as we always say here.

Other, better places to buy and sell:
Etsy
eBay
MDC Trading Post
Amity's Mama Marketplace

As there was such interested to know who 'we' are, this article was researched and written by Caren. But there are many more authors here.
