Title: Any sewing sales regulations I should know about?
Post by: Silvergilt on January 22, 2010, 07:18:50 PM
I got tired of buying substandard clothing that never fits and doesn't fit my weird style, so I bit the bullet and treated myself to a new sewing machine - great bargain, too, yay!   :buttrf:  I've been thinking about adding some sewn stuff to my Folksy shop but the legal morass of making and selling soap now has me paranoid.  It may be a laughable question, but are there any laws or what have you about selling sewn products online?  I know, that's probably a weak thing to ask but then I used to think that selling soap would be a doddle! :mwaha:

If you are making toys, there would be issues regarding small items, choking etc.

Flameproof/fire retardant or whatever they call it for kids' nightwear (possibly eaven adults' also) not sure about day clothes.

Same for furnishings I think.

Heya

I just came across this - Burda Patterns and Courses are now available online in english and for free, not sure if you like their style, but I always found their patterns really easy to follow and some of the techniques are good as well
