so, you are just planning to 'do-sewing' for people? not actually make items to sell, but make things other people have but don't want to sew?
I charge $20 per hour, with a 1 hour minimum to sew for people...make totes, pillowcases, pillows, table runners, ect. and hemming, mending ect.
to make a quilt (commission work) i charge, cost of fabric, patterns, any notions needed...special thread ...plus time (time when making a quilt is kind of ...estimated at best) but i have basic starting prices, such as: queen size quilt starts at (minimum its gonna be) $250 thats a base, every queen i make is going to cost at least that much, and could be more, depending on design, techniques and quilting if i really do some (extreme) quilting it's a bit more, too, see where im going? kids quilts are between $75 -$125; i can easily put a couple hundred hours actually into a quilt, and would never charge that much but i don't feel like i'm cheating myself at all, i love what i do so as long as i cover my cost's,
