How much should I charge for a No-Sew fleece blanket?  

post #1 of 4

I have been making these for years for various people, and now a couple people want to buy them from me, and I really need the money. The thing is I don't know how much to charge for them! I looked on Ebay to see how much they charge there, and it seems to be about $30-35...does this seem to much for you? How much would you pay for one? Here are some pictures of ones to see how they look and their quality.

How much do materials cost? How long does it take you to make?

For $35, materials would have to cost less than $10 and it should take you less than 2 hours to make. And that 2 hours covers EVERYTHING, time spent shopping, doing laundry if you pre-shrink, time cutting, and tieing. And at that you'd only be making about $10/hr for them. Oh, and don't forget... how far away is the fabric store, because you also have to consider gas costs.

If all told it costs more than $10 in material and takes you more than 2 hours to make, then $35 is a little low, IMO.

Triple the cost of materials.
