Yes! EVEN if the author/pattern package says is not allowed. No one has the right to determine what will happen to a product made from a legally acquired pattern. That concept was settled by the U.S. Supreme Court, and is referred to as The First-Sale Doctrine.
This is the post I'm referring to above.
:-D
Yes you can, until it becomes mass production. That term isn't defined, but making lots of purses to sell on etsy might qualify.
So if the designer of the purse pattern states you are allowed to sell, say 6, purses, you could legally sell more? Or would it be considered mass production because it is over the amount the designer allowed? How many would you have to sell for it to be considered mass production?
