Alteration pricing

Dear Carol,

The best way to charge is to charge per hour. Decide how much you need to charge per hour, then keep track of how long it takes you to do the alteration.

You should also consider the time spent on fitting and pressing the garment as well.

You can charge more for expensive cloths. If you do a fine alteration, you can always charge more per hour.

Keep in mind that you don't want to charge less than the minimum wage per hour.

Be brave and charge what you believe is fare compensation for your work. Clients satisfied with the quality of your work are willing to pay more, come back and refer you to others.
