Cordelia your bags are amazing...the fabric choices are so well coordinated, they look very well made and I am sure they will sell like hot cakes!!
As long as you feel you are being compensated for your outlay, time and effort, whatever price 'feels' right to you is what you should charge...if it doesn't feel enough then increase it, let your guts tell you!!!!
Have a great day, and give your regards to your Mom from me too!!!! :D

You dont need luck to sell your bags as you have TALENT!
i love the cat bag and the black and white one and oh yeah i also like the American one and.... oh ok i love them all.
Maybe you could price some of them a bit different to see if they are slower to sell..for instance seeing as i love the cat fabric and the black and white one someone else will too and wont mind paying a bit more so if you make them $5.00 ea more and just say the fabric was dearer on those ones if anyone asks! If they sell quickly then next time you could up them all by $5 to see how they go....then you will have even more $$$ to spend on things you want!

I agree sell them all for the same price and see how it goes if they sell like hot cakes (which I'm sure they will) since I love the first black and white one and another one. You would have at least one sold to me. Go for it I think $50.00 is more than reasonable at the prices you two are selling them they are a steal. Go get them ladies and keep us posted.
Good Luck not that you need it, since I think you sold them all here.

Wish I lived close enough to visit your craft show. You can tell that they are quality products and the variety will really entice people to come look and BUY!
Good Luck and let us know how you did!

Thanks, everyone.
You ain't kidding about the material. They do take a lot of fabric and fusible. We buy the fusible in bulk with 50% off coupons. The buttons are a problem. They're always a couple more bucks. We buy them with half off coupons too.
Some of the fabric we get on clearance, but most of it we get a 20% discount.
By the time we're done, it's roughly $20 cost in materials, a yard and three quarters in fabric, a yard of fusible and a button. Oh, and a whole lotta time. :lol:
It just seems to me, getting $40 for them is fair, but I do rrealize that people pay a lot more for designer quilted bags. But, mine aren't as professionally made and don't have a zipper. I just don't feel right charging anymore than 40 even if someone is willing to pay more.
Hmmm.
Even the $35 my mom charges still gets us up and over the cost.
Thanks everyone.
