All the varieties of koi cow that are going to be in tomorrow's Etsy update. I wanted some fun colors so some cotton candy friends will be among their red and orange colleagues. Also just a couple bigger mercow friends too!

thinking about how I had a few folks at my last market suggest to me (kindly and with good intentions) that I make and sell some versions of the hand knit cardigan I was wearing because people would "totally pay $300 for that!"

I appreciated the sentiment, but people don't understand what goes into handmade clothes! I don't use a knitting machine. Every stitch in that garment is created by hand on needles, and the sleeves were brioche. Even using inexpensive acrylic yarn for the whole project, and accounting for the HUGE sleeve stitches (saving me time making the sleeves)—the material cost was $55 and the labor was well beyond that.

Let's conservatively estimate the cardigan took me 30 hours to create. Currently, when pressed to put a dollar amount to my time, I use the living wage as a baseline and then go up from there $1/hour for every year I have been actively practicing that particular skill. In the case of knitting that would be 11 years, and the current living wage in my area is approximately $23/hour. Setting aside the fact that this is calculated based on a 40 hour work week and I don't believe that is ethical or sustainable, we'll just leave it at $34/hour. That would make labor alone $1,020.

This brings the "production cost" to $1,075.

Items are not sold at production cost because that would leave your profit margin at 0%. This is not sustainable because it costs money to run a business (think things like paying for computer repairs, buying tools, the tablecloth you use at markets, paying for a website, etc.). Realistically to cover business costs and still come out with a 7% "net" profit margin, which is just a number pulled from averages in the clothing retail business...

... I'd have to sell that cardigan for $1,350.

So yeah! Something to think about when you see the price of clothes that are handmade. :o)

Soooo many new "Rainbow Candy Cotton" dice. This time I used a bit more color, therefore the colors are a bit darker in hue. But I really love these soft colors. These dice are still raw and need some sanding and inking. The inking color will be white.

I made an Ame doll! She has removable clothes and pigtails, I think this is my best sewing project so far!

It blocked well enough, I’ll just have to live with having miscalculated and made the wrong size.

It’s cute! It’s warm and squishy! It knit up surprisingly fast! I will definitely make this pattern again!

This Quilt has been a struggle. I bought most of the fabric four years ago, when I didn’t know what a 1/4 in seam was, and getting any corner to match was a goddamn nightmare. I almost threw everything out, but I ripped all of the seams and was left with so fucking many 2.5 in squares that weren’t cut very well, and piecing this fucker back together was also a goddamn nightmare. I made two trips to the Quilt shop for more fabric, changed patterns at least three times. And spent a lot of time rearranging the order of the blocks before I settled on this scrappy -and might I say adorable - Halloween quilt.

I threw a couple of borders on it to try and use as much of my Halloween scraps as possible, and I sewed on the binding very sloppily. I just wanted to get it finished before Halloween, and despite this post date, I did! The ladies at the quilt shop let me help with the quilting, and I felt like a little kid helping mom in the kitchen.

Because of the nature of the beast (the bad cutting, the sloppy piecing, and my overall haste to finish) there are a few tucks around the borders. Did you know you’re supposed to measure the borders, not just sew on the strips and cut where it ends? Measuring keeps it Square. Slapping borders on gives you tucks. I’m still learning so much, but I’m having a good time.
