Help fellow listees,
I just got word that my position as Historic Costume Designer at
Strawbery Banke had been reorganized out of existence, and I'm looking
at the 14 shifts and probably 14 girls gowns that need to be made for
this summers camp. I've heard that I might me asked to make them on a
contract basis, so here is my question. What would be a reasonable
amount to charge for making these garments, if I should be asked? Even
though I've been sewing at SB for 5 years now, I have no idea how much
time it has taken me to make each item I've made. It's gotten all mixed
up with laundry and repairs, etc.
I'm also wondering about the Jr. Roleplayers camp that's to be set in
the early 20th century. Nothing in the collection for 1919, so I had
expected to be doing that, and of course still might but on a different
arrangement.
So if anyone can give me some guidelines on what to charge, I would
appreciate it. Answer on or off list as seems appropriate.
