Can I sell items made from your patterns?? Copyright Issues

I get quite a few questions from many of you in regards to the rules of selling items made from my patterns.

The answer to the question??? YES by all means go ahead and sell the great items made from my patterns but please keep within my copyright guidelines (outlined below) and give me credit for the pattern.

Also please let me know when you are selling items made with my patterns as I would love to send customers your way! I get requests all the time from people who come across my patterns but don't want to make an item themselves and would rather purchase the finish product. I don't sell very many finished items anymore as I am just too busy with pattern designing. So I would love to be able to send those customers your way. I have a list I keep of people selling the finished items and give out that info whenever I get requests for the finished item.

If you would like to sell the items you make with my patterns please note that the following Copyright conditions apply:

*** Please credit Emma Mae Pattern Designs in all written item descriptions. For example you could include the following sentence or other similar wording in your item description: "This item was made using an Emma Mae Pattern Designs pattern."

Party Fun !!


Celebrating various milestones, achievements and other events is always fun! We recently had such a party to celebrate various happenings in our lives.



Fun was had eating things like spicy shrimp, yummy artichoke and spinach dips, rumaki and other yummy things.

Of course everything needed to be finished off with an awesome chocolate fondue! And no party would be complete without some great homemade mocktails!



Sometimes one needs to take a break from pattern designing and sewing to just enjoy life!

I love this Japanese Canvas Fabric with the cute hippos on it.

The black and white colorway makes this a great choice for all kinds of projects. I can just imagine a great hand bag or lunch bag made out of this.

It is available in a black or white background and is available from this Etsy seller.
