so i've made some hats!
i spent friday mostly experimenting with the sewing machine and working with the fabric and pattern i've made up for these things. though "experiment" is a nice way to say "failure." i started with the cat-eared hats--i made two of them, one of which had too small of ears that were set way too low, and the other that i managed to sew on one of the ears backwards. twice. XD
but i finally started producing some good ones and i've been on a roll since. :D
i'm producing them in somewhere between half an hour and forty-five minutes each, so i'm doing good with that. and because i'm keeping them really simple, i can sell them for prices that people will -hopefully- buy. any more materials that go on these hats are going to drive up the price. a lot. i spent $70 on supplies just yesterday, and some of the fleece is coming from my old stock that i spent previous monies on.
so. knowing that, and knowing that half of these profits are going to charity, what would be a good price to price these things? thirty hats in total, which i want to all sell for the same price. i need to at least make up for the money i spent on the supplies... but making a wee profit would be nice, too.
i'm thinking... maybe $10 to $12? maybe?
i guess... even if i priced them at $10, i could make an $80 profit off these things. but that's only if i sell all of them, which i dunno would even happen in the end.
weeee~ -excited- can't wait for this sale. it's lots of fun making these things... though it is work.
i gotta take a break from them now for the week, though. need to work on commissions that umm, i haven't started at all. XD;;; but oh well. i'm ahead on my quota for the week already, so i should be in good shape.

I said:
I would definately go with $12 considering what you probably spent on materials. Art-type things usually go for $10/hour you work on them. Go no lower than $12.
:D
