Why we don’t use licensed fabric
So many times we’ve been asked for licensed fabric — and when I say no, people just can’t understand why! So I thought I’d explain 😊
Licensed fabrics feature copyrighted or trademarked characters and logos (like Disney, Bluey, AFL, Harry Potter, cartoons character etc.). These designs are protected by law, and while the fabric companies have permission to print them, that permission doesn’t extend to selling finished items made from them.
That means we can use them for personal or gift projects, but not for resale. To sell products made from licensed designs, you’d need special approval or a commercial licence — which small makers usually can’t get.
So, even though we’d love to sew all the fun characters, we stick to beautiful, unique fabrics that are safe to sell and keep us on the right side of copyright rules 💕
THIS RULES APPLIES TO ALL LICENSED EMBROIDERY DESIGNS IS WELL (Disney, Harry Potter, car brands, Logos ...)
