Now Taking Commissions
13 years ago
I have run out of commission projects, so now seems like a good time to get a price guide out there, and see who's interested.
There are three important factors to consider for my costume pieces.
One - Fabric type.
FABRIC PRICE/YD WIDTH
Blizzard Fleece Solids 8.99 58"
Blizzard Fleece Prints 10.99 58"
Anti Pill Fleece Solids 9.99 58"
Anti Pill Fleece Prints 12.99 58"
Target Solids 6.99 59"
100% Linen 14.99 53"
Linen Look 8.99 54"
Twill 9.99 57"
Broadcloth 3.99 45"
These are all regular prices from Jo-Ann's website. There are frequently sales going on, and I get coupons in the mail. So these prices are the HIGHEST you could be paying.
Two - Design
ARTICLE YD Approximate Work Time
Long Sleeved Tunic 3 - 5 4 - 6 hr
Drawstring Pants 2 - 4 2 - 3 hr
Short Sleeved Tunic 2 - 4 4 - 6 hr
Applique 1 - 2 + 2 - 3 hr
Lining Same + 1 -2 hr
Scarf 1/2 - 1 2 hr
Tunics can be had with or without a hood, in one or two base colors. Colors available will depend on the fabric chosen.
If there's something you want that isn't here, let me know, and we'll see if I can do it. These are just the basic, standard items I do most often.
Applique is just a way of adding designs and personalization to your item. It can range from monogramming up to complex trim and personalization. For the most part, if you can either show me a picture or describe it well, I can put it on fabric.
Lining is the stuff that goes on the inside of the garment. I can use either more of the same material, or specific lining materials, which vary widely. Broadcloth is a fairly inexpensive choice for lining.
I add a flat rate of $5/hr for labor. Less than minimum wage, and WAY less than I make at my regular job. All of the cost for things like thread, interfacing, needles and other materials comes out of this cost, too, so in the end, I really don't make a whole lot of profit.
Three - Payment and Shipping
I won't start working on anything until I have money in hand. I can't. For one thing, I have to go buy the fabric. The most I can do prior to payment is getting a sketch and measurements down, so I know how much I need. Paypal works fine, and faster than a check, but I'll take mailed funds as well.
I get a discount with FedEx so shipping prices and transit time will be fairly low, for most of you.
SO! If you want custom, hand made stuff, drop me a message. Let me know what you want, and I'll tell you the measurements I need, and we can get a price worked out. Keep in mind that the ABSOLUTE highest price you could be paying is $180 plus shipping, and that's waaaay more than I expect anyone to want to pay. I expect the average cost to be in the $50 to $80 range.
