Derivative work

Digitising a paper pattern into a projector file is legally a format adaptation — and under copyright law, that's considered a derivative work. Unless the pattern is:

• Public domain

• Designed by the customer

• Licensed with permission for conversion

Even vintage patterns may still be protected by copyright, especially if they were produced by a well-known brand or designer. If you’re submitting an older pattern, please confirm you have the rights to have it digitised.

✅ Can My Pattern Be Digitised? — A Quick Checklist

Before sending a pattern to be converted, please confirm the following:

You must have purchased the pattern yourself or be the original creator.

☐ Yes
☐ No / Not sure

✂️ 2. Do you have permission to convert it for personal use?

Check the designer's terms (often found in the pattern or on their website). Some indie designers allow personal edits — others don’t.

☐ Yes, permission granted or terms allow it
☐ Not sure / Can’t find terms

🧵 3. Is it a well-known brand or commercial pattern (e.g. Simplicity, McCall’s, Butterick, Vogue)?

These are usually copyrighted, even older/vintage versions.

☐ No
☐ Yes (please provide written permission)

🕰️ 4. Is it a very old/vintage pattern?

Patterns before 1950 might be in the public domain, but most are still protected.

☐ It’s pre-1950 and I believe it's public domain
☐ Not sure / post-1950

✍️ 5. Are you the original designer or is it a pattern you created yourself?

If yes — you’re good to go!

☐ Yes
☐ No
