As a professional seamstress or sewing business owner, you know that sewing patterns are an incredibly useful tool for creating unique, personalized designs for your clients. However, it is important to understand that commercial use of sewing patterns requires a license to avoid any legal issues.

First of all, it is important to understand that sewing patterns are copyrighted works. This means that only the author or owner of these patterns has the right to use, reproduce and distribute them. If you use a pattern without a proper license to do so, you are committing copyright infringement.

Obtain a business license

It is important to note that obtaining a license for the commercial use of sewing patterns can vary depending on the pattern and the author. It is therefore important to check with the author or publisher of the pattern to find out how to obtain an appropriate license.

At La Robe du Chat, there are dematerialized licenses (you receive a pdf document serving as a license contract). These licenses allow you to sell your creations at the price you want (without any commission on sales). Licenses are available individually, in packs of 10 or for a specific period (1 month, 2 months, 6 months, 1 year) to meet everyone's needs.

In summary, commercial use of sewing patterns requires a license to avoid legal issues and protect your designs. By purchasing licenses for commercial use of patterns, you respect and support the work of the designer 🥰 and for that I say THANK YOU.
