I do not take part in unselfish sewing. I rarely sew for others. Mostly because I have very little sewing time. Also because usually people want you to mend things. Hmmm…not very fun. I do hem hubby’s trousers since he cooks for me.
Anyway, today I saw a kaftan blouse, designed by Michael Kors, selling for $497. On sale. Half price.

Looks a little like my kaftan blouse…
Mine is also silk. (This one is poly chiffon but still nice.) I will sew it for you for half of the sale price! $248.50! Email me your order. 😉
Seriously, who paid $995 for this?! Poor dears need to learn how to sew.
Falling Through Your Clothes 
Ok, great- when you start making Birkins, I want 2!
Birkins! Hand sewing?! Ugh! I can also knock out a gorgeous 12″ napkin with rolled hem.
so funny….I rarely sew for others. So much to learn and do in garment sewing for myself. I may consider the Nettie pattern for my daughters…we will see. Hope you are having a wonderful summer. 🙂
Different for your own kids. It’s a benefit to you as long as they wear it. Mending pockets…yuck.
Exactly! I am never quite sure if they will wear the stuff. 18 and 14 years old….I am trying to involve them in the process by choosing fabric and pattern but it isn’t exactly working. I may just stick to making them sleepwear.
LOL that’s awesome… even in designer silk, that’s quite the profit margin!! (unlike most things we sew LOL) ^_^
What did it cost to make? $45?!
I agree it costs me more sometimes to sew but I get much more satisfaction out of it.
I won’t be surprised if you get some orders…..
*gulp* Should have used the sarcasm icon.
Wow!! And yours looks way more complicated – it has a neckline! I am amazed at what people will pay for a name.
I love some name brand stuff but never regular price. And only if the fabric is exceptional.
My crocheted neckline was from a Hilfiger t-shirt. That I did NOT pay full price for. 😃
Isn’t it amazing what people with too much money will pay for 2 pieces of fabric sewn together.
I once worked at a flower shop in a posh area. Some women came in each week and ordered flowers for every room in their houses. Amazing!
I think some people just try to find ways to spend. We should help the MORE fortunate and teach them how to sew!
Yours is much nicer. I bet you get some orders/
Uh oh. I guess I could use some more vacation $$$!
Haha, does the Kors include the tank top under I wonder ? I prefer yours.
I don’t think it includes the tank!
Thank you!
Holy smokes! I think people pay for the tag on the back of the clothes.
