    Here is my newest Country Tote, I made this for a girl at church so she could carry her bible in it. The labor was the biggest part as I used scraps from other totes/purses I have made in the past.

    I want to charge a fair price that covers my costs as well as not be too expensive for her, what do you all think?

    Love the tote. Great colors. Don't know about pricing, I've never sold anything.

    I was thinking of selling it for $25, a bible cover is at least $15 to $20 depending on size and fabric type

    I love your tote. If I were a buyer, I would snap it up at lower than $20 but would pay between $20-22, and would have to think a bit about going higher. How will you market this? eBay? If so, I might start at $17 and see if you could get a bidding war going.

    This is actually a custom order for a friend at church, she specifically asked for Red, Black and White Fabrics so that is partly why I was going a little higher.
