Chas I thought I had replied to you but I guess I was wrong. First thank you, second I find that it is not so much difficult as time consuming, with stitching fronts and backs of all the pleats and hemming or stabilizing 5 yards of fabric and attaching waistband et al. I have been making them for $105 but am afraid with school starting back I will have to hold my time more dear and go up about $30 each. I think I wind up with about 10 hours in each and about $35 or so in material.
