Sew Skimpy Terms Of Use

Yes, you can use Sew Skimpy patterns to start a small business! You can not use Sew Skimpy digital sewing  patterns for mass production. Please don't share my downloads with others (it's stealing & unethical)

Many small businesses started doing business using Sew Skimpy/Basic Tease sewing patterns. It has been simply amazing to see how many entrepreneurs have created gorgeous pieces for customers, and themselves using Sew Skimpy sewing patterns.

 

Traditionally, most sewing  pattern companies don’t permit their patterns to be used by small businesses. 

 

Sew Skimpy patterns can actually pay for themselves… A $5-30 investment can turn into hundreds or thousands of dollars. Many customers started businesses and have proven this can be done.

 

If you’re sewing your own products and selling them, Sew Skimpy is happy to help! Please abide by the following stipulation and do not mass produce my sewing patterns.

  • Don’t send the patterns to a third party manufacturer or seamstress.
  • If you have more than one employees, you will need to use your own sewing patterns.
