Yup! I do have that problem, but you have to be realistic when charging, I usually state upfront how long it will take to make and the rough cost of materials and put some on top for more fabric! If it's too much then it's their decision to not have it. It's a skill you have like a plumber or carpenter, dress maker or cook they all charge. If it's for friends then I have "mates rates" but tell them not to quote that to some one else who may want the same item. It is a difficult one to decide on. Good luck. Oh could you make me one LOL!!!!

Don't sell yourself short, I would go $15.00 and tell them if someone else wants one then they are $20.00

I'd say $10 is even too low. I'd go more like $15-$20. That way your friend gets something they cherish, and you're not having to make them for every Tom-Dick-and-Harry. Your time is valuable. You're not devaluing your friendship by asking "enough" for your adorable wallets!

I agree.. You sure would not find a decent one in a store for five bucks. With time and supplies at least fifteen!

LivelyLady

I would agree with the others.......$10 to $13 if your using scraps. That's a great buy for a handmade item.

Lucio

I definately agree. How long does it take you to make one, starting with fabric selection? What is the going hourly wage in your area? Don't sell yourself short. In S.Cal you could easily get $20.

If you don't charge a reasonable price (ie too low) you will find yourself making wallets at a loss. My Mom made beautiful things, but did not charge enough and wound up selling items at a loss. And customers did not want to pay the increased cost. I agree $12-15 would be a good price. Remember your time is valuable.

I agree with Becky also. 15.00 for friends and 20.00 for everyone else.

My friend makes quilted wallets, she sells for $25. Looks the same as yours. Guess things cost more here, she uses scraps.

Depends on long it takes you to make them and what the materials cost. $12 sounds low to me. $15? my 2 cents
