I disagree that $10 per hour isn't enough - there are SO many hours that you're thinking/planning/rethinking while doing something else, so just add those hours (what? 10 percent at least) to your actual sewing time. I'm a freelance advertising writer who bills by the hour - and I do lots of "work" in the shower, so I know! And people who work with their hands will never be rich according to the bank statement ... but otherwise- happy happy happy
