I create many things.
But why do I price them as I do?
New fabric is 6-12.00 a yard, plus shipping.
A 3 piece ladies outfit takes at least 4 yards, plus trim, thread and a working sewing machine.
Recycled fabric has to be found, cleaned and often, some gets thrown.
A basic outfit takes a minimum of 6 hours.
A blouse takes 2-3 yards and 6 hours.
Then there is the time spent marketing, shipping and doing customer service.
Having fun is alot of work!
