What Did I Get Myself In To?
The crazy projects I find myself working on. And yes, I love being able to do them. Well, I thought I knew exactly what I was getting in to...I was wrong. The Preschool Director for our church requested some new covers for their red and blue nap mats. Simple enough, the covers are constructed like a large pillow case. Fold on long side, two seams with one end left open. After doing the research, and the cost of fabric post covid price gauging, it was agreed that the covers would be made out of unbleached muslin that was 120 inches wide. Basically a 60 inch square folded in half. With each cut I am able to get two units thanks to the fabric being so wide , we plan a total of 70 units. This, with the fact that muslin is a fairly cheap fabric...we got a great deal, cost was $7.00 a yard...really reduced the cost for this project. First estimate was well over $1,500.00. With the change to muslin and the great price find, the cost was reduced to under $500...
