Just finished a couple of more bowtucks - these are going to a local store to be sold - at least I hope so. I am getting faster at doing these - It is fun because I like to use so many different colors and designs. These are Westminster fat quarters - I love these bright modern fabrics. Enjoy!!

How much do you charge for them? Ive been getting requests for them and have NO idea how much to charge! They seem kind of expensive to MAKE!

Beautiful. You sure sew wonderful.

Oh, what great colors! Couldn't pick a favorite.

Those are all wonderful...love the fabrics.

They are not cheap to make - these are the smaller bow tucks - they cost about $20 each for supplies not counting any labor - I do struggle with pricing because I don't want the prices too high - for a wholesale situation - I am thinking about $ 32.00 each - its not much profit but if the demand increases - then I will buy a bolt of the fusible fleece and perhaps some bolts of fabric so I can decrease the costs of production.

Very nice bags. How long does it take you to make one? I have the pattern but haven't found time to make one.

Nice. Are you selling them on consignment?

kacklebird 09-07-2011 09:26 PM

Don't sell them for less than $40. You're giving them away at that price!

Where is the store where you are selling these? They are SO pretty!

AUQuilter 09-08-2011 12:04 PM

These are very pretty and will easily sell. Not less than $40- I would charge 45-52 and I don't live in Northern Cali. You have materials AND time into these. I would add some upgraded buttons too. I am now a toggle button hunter as I like the way they look on the Bow Tuck- was my hubby's suggestion- said they would add class. Why do we as quilters, seamstresses, etc focus on "how low can we go?" You aren't just the sewer but the color coordinator, shopper, and quilter. And you either drove to buy the fabrics and/or you spent time putting the fabrics together. Each component has a price tag.
It is not just the time we sit and sew. Make up some nice tags to attach to the bags with a fancy ribbon. Good luck!

Very, VERY NICE! Where can one find a pattern for these or are they your very own design?
