I think the copyright law states that I cannot take her "pattern" and reprint it and sell it as my "pattern". I believe a ruling was recent made where a seller sued a buyer because an item was made from the sellers pattern and then the item was sold by the buyer. I think the judgement was that the seller was selling and item that was expected to be made by the buyer, hence, why would the buyer purchase the item to start with? Buyer won case because buyer expected to make the pattern since that is what a pattern is, by definition "instructions to make or execute a design". I may be misguided, but I do not buy patterns to sit in pretty boxes to be admired.
