Things to think about;
1. Have some clear Terms and Conditions set out (what happens if something gets lost, someone doesn't like it etc. ; you can look at other shops for ideas.).
2. Take good, clear photos of your item and write a nice description.
3. Don't under-sell your product; hand made things take time and talent!

With respect to the pattern/ copyright thing, probably best to check with the individual pattern maker; some are happy for you to sell with acknowledgement, some want you to pay a small 'licence' fee to sell.

Good luck!
