I just answered an ad from a woman who is looking for someone to help her do smocking. I can either (using her material) do the basic construction of the garment, smock it and send it back to her, or I can complete the entire dress. My question is how much do I charge for either way I decide to do it? I've been smocking since the 1980's, but have never done it for profit, so I have no idea how much to charge. Any help appreciated! Thanks, Becky Sawyer

What do you pay your hairdresser "per hour"? I have read on other groups that sewist just starting out can base their hourly rate on what the going rate is in their locality for salon hair care. Do you have a log of your time on other projects, so that you can provide an estimate?
