With the price of cotton these days and the fact that you say there are about 4 yards of fabric plus the stiffner plus the closure magnet, etc. I think you should rethink what you are charging for them. It would seem that at $25 to $30 that you are selling to your friends, you are actually GIVING THEM AWAY. Is your time and skill worth nothing? Please do not undervalue your work.

I was thinking of $45.00, but I might re-think that-it has roughly 4 yards of fabric total and 2 yards of fusible fleece, so maybe I might go $65.00. I posted a pic of it a while back with some other bags I made. Thanks for the info!
