    I think it depends on the place that you are having your sale. Is your church a small one where only members and family come for the sale, or is it a very popular yearly sale where people come from all over just to this sale? In our area, there are some well known sales and you could easily get your prices for the purses. But, I have also been to local sales that aren't highly advertised and it's mostly people from the church itself that stop in. Then you might need to think about a different price. Good luck. Your purses are beautiful!

    Your prices are right-do not sell yourself cheap -You put a lot of work into each pocketbook.

    My daughter made Bow Tuck bags and sold them at craft shows for $40-$45 and no one seemed to have a problem with the price. I think $40 is right on.

    You charge what you feel is best, however, my experience is that you won't get as much at a church bazaar or craft sale as you would from a county wide craft sale. I know that I go to the church craft sale to get bargains. Also depends on the area of the country you are in. Just my thoughts.

My friend thinks that I'm going to be too expensive and she says I may not sell any. She says $12 - $15 for the mini & about $20 for the larger one. I wouldn't break even after buying fabric, supplies & my time sewing them. She burst my bubble. What is the going rate for them? Below are a few bags.
    I think you have a friend who maybe wants to buy one for a really cheap price! :) The bags are beautiful! I think 20 - 40 is very reasonable!

    They look really nice and I think your prices are more than fair.
    Sometimes people want you to give things away.
