Boy I learn more stuff on ths Forum. Never heard of potato bags before unless you were putting raw potatoes in to store in the kitchen. Doing the corn -- do you wet the corn, or take off the green leaves, etc etc. I usally make one or two ears only, wrap the clean corn in a wet paper towel and microwave for 2 or 3 minutes, It is hot, but good. -- J.

You should charge what you spend in materials, PLUS an hourly wage for however long it takes you to make it. I wouldn't sew for hire for any less than $10 an hour, but the price is up to you to determine. Don't sell yourself short.

I figured what the fabric cost her potato bag, the potato fabric, batting and good muslin for inside. If you don't embroidery them basic cost is around 8.00 each, plus your time should be 3 x the material. I know that they sell in some places for $25.00 each, figure your time in for you don't work for free.

I can get 6 bags from one yard of potato fabric, then use 1 yard of cotton batting, and 1 yard of muslin.
One yard cut 12" by WOF, then cut that in half, you will have two tops, as far as charging goes, I charge $12.00 a bag, you are still making money on them. I cut the same in for Tortilla warmers. But sew the top up to with in a inch, so you can get the tortilla in the bag easier. I have made many of them, great gifts.
