I am sewing some purses for my sisters and the fabric is copyrighted saying "for individual use only" I understand I can probably make the purses and give them to my sisters. But, I have had a request to make some more purses or aprons- can I sell them??? do I need permission?

Some of the license holders to these fabrics say no to making items for sale. If it says that on the fabric, I would probably not use it for these items :D:D:D

My understanding is you are buying the fabric to use yourself and CANNOT resell it , that is why it is labeled that way

On the other hand you are not reselling the fabric, but the product you made. Too confusing!

You make perfect sense. If a woodworker buys lumber and makes birdhouses, he should be able to sell them.

I don't see why you could not sell what you make.

It means you can make the project using that fabric for personal use- for yourself or as gifts. Not for sale.

I have never seen that of fabric before, is it some copyrighted symbol like the breast cancer stuff?

You can have your 'customers' buy the fabric and then charge them to make the purse. You can't use the fabric to make or mass produce an item to sell.

At least that is my interpretation.

I see it even on some of the fabric sold at Walmart.
