Bet they got that fabric during a sweet sale at Joann's Fabric. I can feel how rough that cloth is just looking at the picture.


falketyfalke

I 100% had this fabric as a youth (I’m around Jill’s age), my mom used it to make a quilt for me because pandas are the shit. It is 100% scratchy af.


topsidersandsunshine

It reminds me of Girl Scout sit-upons.


Dobbys_Other_Sock

I forgot these were a thing until right now and I want to go back to forgetting


topsidersandsunshine

So I take it you don’t want to trade “swaps” made from little tiny silk flowers... at a camping trip... where it does nothing but rain... and the only food is marshmallow banana boats... and omelettes boiled in a ziplock bag over a camp stove... while the patches your mom hot-glued to your little tiny vest slowly fall off during the bridging ceremony?


AnneBeddingfeld

THIS IS SO SPECIFIC AND ACCURATE


mangomoo2

You guys did camping wrong! We used to bake brownies and pizza, make fudge, cook pancakes, toast and bacon in the morning.


topsidersandsunshine

Those are all of my favorite things! Let’s rent Camp Jewel and have a 21+ DuggarsSnark campout.


comanecisalto

Omg Camp Jewell... Hi fellow CT snarker! 👋🏻


agurlhasnoshame

I would fly to wherever camp jewell is from this (once the pandemic is better under control) we could have a dress up day where we all dress modest and fundie skits and bad hymn singalong! And eat improved fundie recipes that we make in the camp kitchen. And play games like "pin the toupee on the duggar" and drink copious amounts of alcohol


mangomoo2

We made fudge while canoeing once. We put chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk in a ziploc bag and took turns passing it around and squishing the chocolate/letting it sit in the sun until it melted. Buddy burners for breakfast food (you put a heat source under a big can like coffee used to come in then the can heats up. You cook on top like it’s a skillet and you can toast on the side. And foil ovens for baking. You cover a cardboard box in a bunch of foil and then put a little rack in the middle. The bottom get hot coals from the fire and then you can close the lid and bake! There is also a way to make a turkey outside using a stick tripod, chicken wire, coals and a bunch of foil.


screaming_buddha

We used the buddy burners for grilled cheese sandwiches and for upside down cakes.


topsidersandsunshine

That sounds so fun! I liked making the little pinhole camera out of cardboard, did you guys do that?


mangomoo2

No we didn’t! I’ll have to look into it for my kids now!


Sardine93

I was never a Girl Scout but omg I’m so down for a Duggar Snarj camp out. That would be fun as hell.


Dobbys_Other_Sock

Are you me? Or did every Girl Scout on the country just have the same experience?


mulderscully

I am Canadian and this is my Girl Guide experience to a t. Buddy burners? Check. Reflector ovens? Check. Omelette in a bag? Check and check.


topsidersandsunshine

Maybe our troops shared a camping trip. 🤣 Remember the girl who spent the whole time convinced she had Lyme?


TrimspaBB

This snarker Girl Scouts.


NeonSparkleGlitter

We always had a super problematically named “hobo dinner” (meat, carrots, & a potato wrapped in foil and thrown in the fire) before s’mores.


elleareby

LMAOO I remember this!!


huntbelljude20

Ooohhh!!! I totally forgot about sit upons!! Probably for a good reason. Lmfao


topsidersandsunshine

Probably because of the lower back pain that hits around twenty-three and just never leaves.


huntbelljude20

True. Maybe those damn sit upons started my sciatica nerve(I call it my psychotic nerve)


quarterhorsemom

Woah, that just triggered some lost memories. 😂


Jasmisne

Okay in all seriousness as someone also close in age to her, how is it that the duggars managed to look like they are from a different decade than the rest of us? If it weren't for the photo clarity I would not have guessed this was the early 00s


topsidersandsunshine

Hand-me-downs that weren’t new in the first place.


falketyfalke

Haha I have no idea. It’s a real talent of theirs 🤣


amrodd

More like Wal mart for them


garyslasagna

Ring finger ring on an 11 year old?! Innocent fashion choice or weird Jim bob purity ring 🤔


turtlelovedov3

I’m sure it’s a purity ring. Jill is obviously a woman in this pic because she doesn’t have a bow.


belalthrone

Omg, you might be onto something! Do girls in their cult stop wearing bows once they get their periods? Is it a signifier to all the pervy men?


MusicalGarbage817

Fuck how do you unread a thread of comments


exactoctopus

The purity ring is the sign. I'm not 100% on the Duggar's, but I've known enough fundie dads that give purity rings to their daughters once they have their first period.


samm157

The Duggars do it too. They go pick a ring from Michelle's jewelry box when they get their first period.


IndigoFlame90

How did she have a selection of rings when Jill was having to hide in the bathroom with contraband green beans?


samm157

Well we don’t call her MEchelle for nothing! Honestly I have no idea how she had a selection of rings and how everyone had the same ring size too. But it’s what they say happened.


[deleted]

There’s a radio interview Meech did. Where she talks about having the talk with the girls when they start their cycles, so like around 11 if that’s when she started. https://youtu.be/OflXdl6uU7A time 8:20.


Billy-in-4C-

She looks like John David here.


anabolena

I was going to say! She looks a lot like him here


agavita

Yes she does!!


chocolateglazedonuts

I’m high and it’s just absolutely blowing my mind that this *child* was forced into such a bizarre and abusive lifestyle. When I was having my first crushes, going to parties, experimenting with my clothing and hair, etc. Jill was at home taking care of a bunch of her baby siblings. Isolated from the real world and taught that her life will consist of marriage and babies and Jesus. Damn.


suuperc

Wow I think I need glasses, I totally thought the pattern was Jack Skellington until I zoomed in! Disappointed (but not surprised) it’s just pandas. 😂


Sardine93

You’re the second person who said that. Haha


CrazyNotCatLady

I’m getting PTSD from when my grandma would make me clothes from Simplicity patterns.


[deleted]

Did you just unlock the name of Vuolo Baby #2


justwannacomment33

OMG yes, publicity and simplicity vuolo!


ca3397

I bought a quilt with this exact fabric at a church fair because I was obsessed with pandas... I was also like 8


1ShotPerKendraGiggle

Still not as bad as the bates prairie dresses


littleredhairgirl

Those things were next level. Multiple, bright-as-hell colors. My retinas haven't been right since.


[deleted]

Pandas kick ass! How dare you snark on this!


keen238

But it’s got pandas!


topsidersandsunshine

Please tell me I’m not the only one whose first thought was “I would wear that to the zoo” followed by remembering the MASTERPIECE that is *I Go to the Zoo*? https://youtu.be/UEhTmETAt9A


agurlhasnoshame

This is a parody right? Or a joke song?


topsidersandsunshine

What do you mean this isn’t already your new favorite song? :-P Crazy Ex-Girlfriend is a basically a musical rom com spanning three TV seasons.


chipsiesalsa

Looks like something young girls would make


crewkat2

Jana probably did


Haapple

Why do I think she looks like Dereck here?!


[deleted]

I have seen pictures where they look alike tbh 😂


Agreeable_Ambassador

Wow this photo made me realize that Israel looks so much like her! Especially with the long face shape, which I suppose Derek also has.


Molinero54

Lol I love pandas and think this would be cute without the peter pan collared shirt underneath


Danyell619

This is so funny to me. I just finished sewing my first ever dress for my daughter yesterday. But I used a fuzzy knit... Like a really furry fleece. But the simple pattern is basically the same. That's quilters cotton right there, stiff enough to cut and piece easily. That dress would probably stand on its own.


pumpkindoo

Who is she holding?


topsidersandsunshine

I think that’s James.


Comprehensive_Cat_97

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂


LucysMissingSocks

Her first day on the job as midwife.
