Hello everyone! Today I want to let you know that you can purchase Package 1 of the Afi Exquisite bra pattern under the license for Small Business usage. It’s a separate listing. And it is a different price. Let me walk you through a few details and also address some possible quirks.
First of all, what is this “Small Business” license package?
The patterns I have released so far, were for personal use. There are some of you who want to custom make bras for clients and use my patterns. Some of you want to open (or already have) a small boutique selling small collections of lingerie and would like to use my patterns. The personal usage prohibits custom makes for clients or small collections.
With the Small Business package you will be able to do that.
What does the Small Business package allow?
I have written a dedicated page on the usage terms in rather human readable form. Take your time and read it here: Terms of Use for our Patterns. It is my strongest advise, if there is something you do not understand, or have a usage not listed in the terms of use, contact me before you purchase the package! Let me help you clarify everything you have doubts about.
Why?
Some of you know how to sew but don’t have (yet) the skills to draft their own pattern. For some sourcing a pattern drafter might be expensive. Among simple people are hidden talents or dreams that never surface and reach the world. I want to help people open/sustain their own lingerie business, ideas and dreams.
Is the content of the package any different than the personal usage?
Guys, no. I did not think for the allowed usage someone would use a plotter or something like that. But I’d love to know your suggestions.
What packages are available as Small Business?
Package 1. But let me know if you are interested in other packages. Or the Afi Chic.
Why would I buy a business package?
Personal usage is different from commercial usage. I hope you see the difference: you make money with the help of my work. Drafting and releasing a pattern requires so much time, effort and money. When you buy the ready pattern you pay a only small amount for that time, effort and knowledge. Which you’d otherwise have to spend yourself (or hire someone and … pay). Having the personal package and using it in/for commercial purposes is called stealing. Stealing intellectual property. I know this will raise many talks (and has along the years). I won’t go into details but will only say this: think of the scenario where you are the one that’s designing, drafting and selling patterns.
Thank you to those who understand intellectual property and digital products, and fair play according to the terms of use!
