For all the work that goes into these bags., your time is worth alot.
I know it takes me right around 8 hours to do a bag. I re-enforce the handles, by sewing them the first time about 5 times across, then I sew across again as I attach the lining, after I put the bag together then I top switch around the top to finish it this secures the lining. My purses will not fall apart. I charge $65.00, if I supply the fabric and make it, If they buy the two fabric's for the purse I will supply the pellon and the buttons. If they want the handles longer I will do that also. My charge for that is $45.00
Anyone who can do this all in two hours or so, must be a super sewer. I have made 8 or so, and I can't do them that fast. It takes around 1/2 hour more to cut the fabric and pellon. Then it takes time to make the handles., for I sew them 4 to 5 times besides just the sides. Then it takes time to fold, iron and sew the ties that go on the ends. I can't see any short cuts in this bag. I had one cut out on Thurs. and finished most of it on Friday, but I still have to sew around the top, sew the ties on then decided what buttons to put on.
