No, you cannot legally sell clothes using someone else's pattern without permission. Patterns are protected by copyright laws, and using them without the creator’s consent can lead to legal issues. To stay compliant, create your own designs or purchase licenses from pattern creators. Alternatively, you can find patterns that are explicitly sold for commercial use.
