About the only things you can't do are:
Duplicate the original document or pattern for distribution (free or otherwise)
Make a replica of a trademarked item and then affix or otherwise represent the item as a genuine trademarked item.
You can copy and sell items using other's designs at will without violating the law unless the design is registered, patented, or you make fraudulent claims about your copy when attempting to sell it. Does that have a lot of integrity? No. Do most people concern themselves with artistic integrity? I doubt it.
And then there is technique vs. design, and I think a lot of people selling technique get real confused about that.
