i wonder if you buy the pattern at retail if that grants you the right to then make and sell the bag? i don't know copy right law at all. of course, if it were something i had designed and made i wouldn't want anyone to be able to make and sell it. but i wouldn't sell the pattern either. so it's confusing. by selling the pattern you're saying " here. it's ok to make and duplicate my work.""aren't you?
