Thanks for tagging me! I’m glad I’ve been able to help 
As for op’s question, one thing I like to do is find similar style patterns and see what they’re being priced at to establish a sort of baseline range for what people might be willing to spend. So, for example, I’ve seen that type of bag pattern from around 2 - 8 dollars, with most of them hovering around 4 or 5, so I might start there. Then you can factor in some of the other considerations, like your time investment, how unique your design, the pattern’s level of detail/difficulty/supplemental instruction, etc. to help narrow it further and find a price that feels fair to you.
Idk if you have had the pattern tested or plan to, but another thing you can do is poll/ask your testers what they think a fair price would be or what they would be willing to pay for your pattern. I did this with a pattern of mine, and my testers were incredible resources in helping me establish a price that struck a balance between my time/effort investment and what sort of budget pattern consumers are working with.
I hope that helps a little, but honestly pattern selling is a bit like pattern making in that they both rely on a little (or a lot of) trial and error! Best of luck to you in growing your small business!
