Break it down!

A smart looking book sling for the tween to teen.

After making my first few book slings I was thinking I would share the cost of each unit. They were not quite as affordable as I would have liked. Let's break it down!

Fabric - $4-6 a half metre 

2 x Dowel and Double bracket - $12

Postage - $8-12 as it is more expensive to some parts of Australia

thread - $2

ebay advertising -$2

Total = $30-34 per unit

So making $5 was not a great thought after I also consider the electricity, sewing machine, pre-washing and ironing the fabric and  labour. I have priced them, I believe fairly, at $40 to $45 each. This would make a profit of $10 on each item. Perhaps I'll stick to restoring furniture. Speaking of which, 'Mr' will soon be letting you in on our adventure to collect our most recent eBay purchase.
