Short & Sweet – Highlights:
YOU MAY:
- Embroider with my patterns for your personal use – for decoration, as a gift to someone, etc.
- Embroider with my patterns and decide to sell the embroidered product. I am talking about an occasional sale. More than one? Please see below.
YOU MAY NOT:
- Share my patterns as downloadable PDFs anywhere. Please link to the pattern page instead.
- Assume ownership of my patterns once you bought and downloaded the PDFs. For example, adjusting the patterns as you like and sharing the amended version; printing patterns out to distribute them, or mass-sending PDFs over to your friends or stitch circles.
- Create your own version of my patterns that you sell. My patterns are protected by copyright. Derivatives – that visibly imitate my work (= visual expression of a topic) and sold by another designer are in breach of copyright.
- Create a business that sells multiple items embroidered with my patterns. In such cases, we can come up with a licensing agreement.

3. Licensing
If you choose to create multiple pieces based on my patterns (free or ko-fi exclusives) or in fact make a business of stitching these designs serially, we can discuss an agreement that allows you to do so, such as licensing fee. Please, reach out to me via this contact form.
4. Resolution of issues
My patterns are drawn digitally by hand to fit on an A4 piece of paper. Imperfections are to be expected, but if you notice something that makes the design challenging to work with, please let me know via this contact form. I will do my best to fix the issue.
