I don't know, I hadn't even thought of selling them. I have a stash of fabric that I've had forever to make bags or purses and when my buddy told me (for the THIRD TIME-how long does it take me to hear things!) that she booked a show with a stranger because of her catalog tote, I decided that I needed one NOW! So I dug through the piles of fabric to find something fun. It's probably $10 worth of materials and took me maybe 3 hours...maybe more because I didn't know just what I was doing, but I guess I'd take $40 for it. Maybe $35 if you wanted to provide the fabrics...

That is awesome - I need to learn how to sew!
