I'm not suggesting producing a line of clothing for sale or otherwise. Just
that, for example, if you buy a pattern for a wedding dress for your
daughter, and make it, you are free to take as many pictures of it as you
like, and then do whatever you wish with the dress after the wedding. The
same applies to anything else you make from a commercial pattern. The
company that sells the pattern doesn't own the item you make. If someone
makes an identical dress from another bought copy of the pattern, they can
do what they like with that one. The company that produces the pattern owns
the design, not the item made from it. You buy a license to make the item
when you buy the pattern.

If you were producing commercially, you'd have your own pattern designers
and cutters. I just saw an example of this on TV this evening when copies of
dresses for our BAFTA awards (a bit like the Oscars) were being made for
commercial sale. There were changes made to the original designs partly to
make them saleable to the public, and partly for reasons of infringement of
copyright.
