Bear!!! LOL. You crack me up.
I always think of consumption as eating, not using, but I know it has multiple meanings. So when I saw the phrase, I thought "for individual consumption" means I have to eat the pattern myself. haha.
No, just means you can't sell it and you shouldn't make copies and pass them out to friends or classmates. The pattern maker deserves to make money off his her time and creativity. This label protects intellectual property.

I'm thinking they must mean you can't use it for mass production, because why would they make fabric that could Only be used for things that can't be sold?
