Am I aloud to sell with a pattern I got from somebody else. that is altered?
There is a website called thread banger that teaches all kinda of people how to
sew
chrochet
ectra
and they released a tutorial on how to make a bunny eard hoodie
it came with a downloadable pattern
Anyways
i downloaded it
but it was way too small for my likeing and I made it HUGE
and i added long scarf like attachments to it
so it is greatly altered
I was thinking of making an etsy to sell other crafts i make
and i wished to add this to the items I sell
but I am worried that It is illegal for me too
if i have greatly altered the pattern
is it okay to sell it as my own?

Check first to see if the pattern is under copyright. If so, you should contact the publisher to get permission, even if you have altered the pattern. When I develop a project based on someone else’s pattern and “make it my own” or alter it to suit my needs, I give credit to the original designer if my intent is to sell it. Including a little card that says “This piece was inspired by Jane Doe” is enough to satisfy most people, plus it gives your customer a sense of your integrity.
