someone commissioned me to repair a long cashmere coat that the lining was ripping and pulling out of, and I quoted $60 even though it's a bigger job than that just because I don't want to scare folks away from having their clothes repaired.
not to have a big head, but I'm really fucking good at this. You can hardly see the stitches, and I really hope I can make a career of this - but it's unlikely that many folks would pay me $50-$75 to mend clothing that isn't sentimental like this jacket is.
It's really labor intensive, and I have to charge what my time is worth, but it's easy to just replace things these days...
