Can I sell craft items which I have made from another person’s pattern?
30/5/2009

Generally, unless the copyright owner has clearly indicated to the contrary, and whether or not you are working from a commercially published pattern, you will need permission to make commercial quantities of someone else’s craft item.

 

If you are working from a pattern that has been published, the publisher will often be the best point of contact in getting permission. Otherwise, contact the relevant craftsman/designer.
