For some reason, many people think, because it is made by an individual, that it should be less money. When they don't realize that it takes much more individual work when done by one. I used to sew for people and when I told one lady what a garment was going to cost, she looked at me and said " but I thought clothes were cheaper when home made", to which I told her they would be if she were the one making them....not hiring someone to do the work for free for her.
