It would indeed seem fair and courteous... and yet... you run the chance of it being interpreted as trying to gain, by using the fame of the designer.
The reason I bring this up was that about a decade or so ago, when I did lots of craft shows, I had some fabric designed by Debbie Mumm, that I was using for my items. And I contacted her company to ask if it was okay to sell products made from her designer fabrics. What I was told was that I could, as long as it was only myself that was employed in the sewing of the items, and as long as I did not use her name at all in the advertising of the items. This was so that I did not capitalize on the use of her good name.
Granted, this pertains to the use of fabric, not a pattern, but it might be that in the eyes of the law (or some lawyers) the ideas could be quite the same.
Just my two cents (which might not even be worth
that much)...
