(BTW, we live in Hawaii) - Curtains Simple straight - Curtains with Valance - Bedsheet (garterized) - Pillowsheets - Pillowcases - Sofa cover with piping and cuffs - Throw pillows - Chair (w / pipe) Cover - Leaves Bolster (shaped pillow for long) - Adult's blouses and tops children / adults and dresses for children - and pajamas - Adults and children skirts and shorts the changes: - Jeans hem - hem Pants - Zipper replacement I hope you can give a detailed amount for each item. Thank you for your weather. *** The reason I asked is because of my mother. She has the skills to do these things and it will use to get some money ... she has no idea how much to charge his client. Mahalo! ***
I strongly suggest that your mother should join the group e-mail sewbiz to quiltropolis - http://www.quiltropolis.net/maillists/maillistsdetail.asp?catid=Business - it will find many other professionals sewing that can help him understand his proteges. Some of the prices they want can probably be done by checking with the local cleaners dry, but others depend on how she wants to win every hour worked, and how fast it sews. Some people have a fixed price per hour, per item, by some master bedroom, with different amounts added to the difficulty of tissue, the difficulty of the ground, and difficulties of the client. There are guides of prices floating around - both Claire Shaeffer and Karen Maslowski have one. But I really think it will further the group sewbiz the right price ... Some expressed their contracts, etc.
