Can I sell the handbags that I make from the patterns I purchase?
Pattern designers copyright the patterns, and prohibit the designs from being used for commercial purposes. The patterns normally include a statement such as "...designs are protected by Copyright. Patterns are for personal use of the purchaser and bags must not be reproduced to gain profit." The designer has created intellectual property (IP), and reserves the right to license the design to manufacturers.
If you wanted to manufacture the design, you would need to sign an agreement with the designer to share the revenues. If you wish to sell handmade bags in limited quantities, consider pattern books from Cindy Taylor Oates (Taylor Made Designs, e.g. Purses, Bags, & Totes, Crafty Bags, Totes with Zippers, and Slouchy Bags).
Here is a quote from Cindy's line of pattern books: "We hope that you enjoy making the projects in this book and are happy for you to give them as gifts or sell them in limited quantities. However, any mechanical reproduction of the designs, photographs, or instructions is strictly prohibited under federal copyright laws."
