Fully Lined Curtains
How much to charge to hem curtains?
I was asked to shorten 3 curtains for my husband's work. The curtains were for 1.8 metre windows so were over 3 metres long and were fully lined. I had to unpick the old hems before hemming on both curtain and lining. Also doing the same for 3 sheer fabric curtains (one layer) from the same windows.
I don't want to overcharge nor do I want to undercharge - at the moment this is my only income. I suppose I should add that they wanted the curtains done quickly, I picked them up on Friday (drove an hour to and from) and they wanted them back by Monday - husband took them to work with him.
Iron on velcro is not an option, these have to look proffessionally done as they hang in aged care facilities.
I would charge £15 per hour including the travelling and unpicking. Sewing is considered Women's work and is notoriously underpaid. Also, because so much sewing is undertaken in countries where the hourly wage is a tiny fraction of what it is here, people don't want to pay the equivalent rate here. Good luck
