No. 2 is illegal, 1 is legal, you’re just redirecting an image for a different private use. You’re not making money out of it.
Thanks for the zipper tutorial. I can make pretty much anyway but somehow skirt zippers always seem to trip me up. I have a hollow back and protruding round buttocks. Disaster for zippers.
