Totally cute!

My grandma had one just like that. Only not quite so cute!

Oh you did such an EXCELLENT job!!! It looks exactly like it is supposed to and the colors are so cheery. :oD

Thanks. I think I am going to make a few more. If you were to buy one like this how much would you pay for it. (I am thinking of making them to sell.)

Oh boy. I'm really bad at pricing things since I'm so cheap. What price range where you thinking?

How long does it make to complete one? How much do the rough items cost in whole?

I was thinking about $30-40. The other gal I told you about is selling them for $50 and I think that is way high.
Materials cost about $15-20 depending on what and where I buy it. It took me about an hour to cut and about 3 to sew. I am thinking that if I make them to sell though I will be able to cut at least 2 at a time (of the same material) and the more practice I get in sewing the faster that will be too. I think I can reduce my total time per to about 2-3 hours.

How wonderfully beautiful!!! I love it. You may find you like them a little shorter also; just an idea, based on my own likings. I love the color scheme. It is so pretty. Your grandma would be proud! I love you! Mom

I am going to do a shorter one for Susan. I'll see then if I like it shorter or longer. I will keep that in mind for yours though. Thanks, I am proud too.
Love you.
