I am going to be doing sewing. And don't know what to charge and what would be far or not. If any one could help me I would like that a lot! (I'm sixteen)

You need first of all to be commended for starting your own business at such a young age. Good for you!!! I found this web site you may want to use and you may also want to contact other seamstress' in your general area for prices. Good luck!!!http://www.getcreativeshow.com/Craft_Sew_Business/Business_Seminars/oct97.htm

Well, you first need to figure out your cost of materials. Next, the time you spent making any single piece, and what you think your hourly time should be worth. $5? $10? more?
Add it up, and see if you can get anyone to buy it at the price you want. If you can't, you should find out pretty quickly if you can make any money at this or not.

Charge different prices for different products! Start a website, and look around on different websites to see what they charge. When I started my business (I make cookies and chocolates) I went to local bakeries and grocery stores to see what they charged. Good luck!

Start out by seeing what your competitors charge. If you can do comperable work for a little less, you'll do fine. If you can do a better job for that price, great!

ask your parents what they think is best. they will take into concideration what level of sewing you are at and what kind of money people in your area are willing to pay. good luck!
