I have soooo many patterns, I will never get to all of them. I get most of my magazines from charity shops for 20 or 50 cents, and cut out the patterns I like, I have folders of them, and it much cheaper to post just a pattern from a magazine than a whole magazine.
If I send someone a pattern it is always an original, and no I don't make copies for myself. If I wanted the pattern that badly I would never have offered to give it to someone :thumbup:
