Our patterns may not be copied, reproduced, distributed, used for workshops or otherwise used in any way without prior permissions. Please contact us if you would like to discuss using any of our patterns for your small business. 

The Golden Scissors allows other sewists to create custom commissions for clients so long as a pattern is purchased directly by the client. In other words: each customer must have their own physical copy of our pattern.

~At the Sign of the Golden Scissors/Larkin & Smith Patterns and kits are exclusively for private, non-commercial use by the buyer.
~At the Sign of the Golden Scissors/Larkin & Smith Patterns and kits may only be used for commission pieces if the individual pattern or kit is owned by the client. In other words a client may purchase a pattern or kit and pay to have someone else sew the item for them.
~Commercial Production of At the Sign of the Golden Scissors/Larkin & Smith Patterns and kits is strictly prohibited.

At this time we have not made arrangements with any one maker or vendor to sell wholesale patterns or multiple items made from our patterns/kits. As this changes we will post a list of licensed sellers and makers on our website. We have not granted permission to anyone to use our patterns for workshops as this takes away from our business and own workshop offerings. Please contact us if you are interested in having us teach a workshop for your group or organization.
