Well, the jacket and pants were just two items out of probably about 50 pieces between the two garbage bags that I filled up for $1 each. And I never pay more than 99 cents for a pattern (I catch them on sale at Hancock Fabrics).
So, less than $3 for a purse I could probably sell for around $15? I try to be VERY reasonable on my pricing, it could probably be higher, but I would rather offer a bargain. I know I like finding them, so why shouldn't my customers? And my workmanship is top knotch, I don't skimp on quality to offer a better price. Might as well not do it, if it's not done right...
