Hoodie Commission Prices

Hoodie Commission Info
Hello! Thankyou for the interest in my work!
I am going to try to explain the price breakdown as simple as I can. ^_^;

Hoodie Base Price Info


How much are the custom hoodies?
Custom hoodies do not have a set price. The prices are determined by the amount of details you wanted added onto the hoodie. (Please check the Detailing Prices section for ideas) The quote starts at $30.00 base. That pays for the blank hoodie that I detail. You can select from ZipperUp or PullOver Styled hoodies.

Plus sizes are also available. Anything over a XL will be slightly more in price so please mention the size you need so I can look up how much extra it is from my distributor.
Please note, some hoodies style may slighty differ.

Custom Dyeing
Custom dyes are also a detail your hoodie may need. Anything not black or white will need to be dyed. If that's the case it's between $8.00-$12.00 extra for a custom dye. Please note that because these are custom dyes, some very minor or light discoloration in places is natural as I am using cotton blend fabrics. The dyes sometimes take a bit better in areas, this will be avoided when possible. But minor spots do happen sometimes.

Some custom dyes WILL cost more. I have found from my expierence certain colors can't be achieved with just one dye bath. If you get a quote with a higher price for dyeing that's the reaosn.

Detailing Prices

Now that you already have your base price, and know if you need a custom dye or not, here's where you get to be creative! ^_^ The following section will help give you some ideas for the details you want added onto your hoodie! ♥


-Face on the Hood
Detailing
- You pay for every detail I add onto the hoodie. Each piece will be sewn on with a tackle twill method. Each piece is $2.00.
For instance if you wanted this smiley face on the hood

 =)


It would be +$6.00 on your base price.( 3 pieces [two eyes, one mouth] x  $2.00 = $6.00 ) Pieces larger than 4 inches it will cost more to add on.



-Other Optional Hoodie Detailing-
These are some ideas you can  also add onto your hoodie with a general price for each. If a particular detail is a bit more complex  or larger, the price may be higher. So with that said here some examples of what you also can have added! ^_^

+ $10.00 - Ears
+ $2.00 - For Each Letter, Number or Symbol appliqued on
+ $10.00- You can have a 6 inch Pokeball on the back
+ $8.00 - A tail
+$16.00 - Add Wings
+ $4.00 - You can add a plastic zipper pull of the character added onto the zipper Currently unavailable.
+ $8.00 - You can add a Pre-programed Machine Embroidery
These come out to be about 2-3 inches big~!
I have these only have these:
Pokemon Page One Pokemon Page Two
+ $18.00 - You can add an image of *your choice* and I will digitize it into my embroidery machine and embroider it on your hoodie. The biggest I can make them are about 4-6 inches. Please choose a clean image preferable with no background. (Clean artwork works the best for digitizing the higher res the picture, the cleaner the embroidery comes out. :3)

Please do no hesitate to ask if I can add a certain detail not listed above! Whether it's stripes, bands, snaps,  horns, whiskers, etc! I more than likely can do it and may already have! ^_^ Just check my completed list of hoodies to see some of the cool things people came up with for me to make!

Payment Info

All payments must be in USD.
I accept Paypal, Money Orders, and U.S. Personal Checks.
After payment is recieved materials will be ordered.

Shipping Info

I will gladly ship world-wide.
If you live in the U.S. shipping would be $8.75.
If you live outside the country it would be $14.75 USD.
I can combine shipping too, each additional hoodie you purchase would be +$4.75 each.

I had to rework my scedule because I fell behind, so if you see your hoodie bumped back a month, it's because of the rescedule.

Still breathing~!

mood: drained drained

Been a while since I updated~! Here's whats new/run down on the future etc. I have some big changes to announce as well as some projects to share! ♥♥

As you may or may not have noticed I fall behind on email, notes and comments often. Just when I think I catch up, the next morning I have a fresh new set awaiting my response. *_*;; It sometimes takes me a week just to reply to a simple questions of "do you accept commissions" this is due to the volume of inquirires, quotes, status updates, 'how did you makes' and general chit chat. More recently I feel as though I have been spending too much time repling to people. I am EXTREMELY flattered by my popularity but sometimes when I have a deadline crunch for commercial projects, I can't take the time to reply to everyone. So I have taken measure to help me out with this~!


I got a secretary~! ↑↑↑ ♥♥♥


All emails, notes, questions etc should be sent directly to her from now on. =) Anything she is unable to answer she will forward to me and I will happily reply. ♥ I just need help with the general bulk. (MOSTLY the quotes, and how did you do this and basic questions) ♥ I am seriously honored/happy that I am so loved and people are interested in my work. Seriously thankyou guys. ♥n//.//n♥


So on that note, for any future questions, emails etc. Please use the following email address.

usakochan.com [at] gmail.com

Anything not sent to her may be over looked or you may have to wait a bit to hear from me.
She will also be handling most of the mailings and webpage (which is in drastic need of an update) for me too. So yay, that should free up more time for sewing~~! ♥♥
She will also be creating and fixing my schedule for me. And new schedule will be posted... I would guess by Friday? I need to make sure the new scedule actually leaves room for commercial work though. =( I thought I would have enough time to squeeze a ton of projects inbetween but that never happened last time.



Secondly! I am thinking about ALSO getting an assistant. They would just handle basic chores such as stuffing, flipping inside out, cutting and the satin stitching on hoodies (I will do all placement, shapes etc) this would really help me drastically.


I have increased my workload recently with accepting a 3rd commercial job (they only need me now and again) but when they need me, I get pretty swamped which is what happened this past week. After I finished up some patterns packets for one of my jobs which I posted about, I was hit with an even larger project that I couldn't say no to. I just finished that up 1 day ago so I am able to take a breather and jump back to commissions while I wait to hear back if I have edits or not~



ALSO ~~Here's have a picture~! xD
Photobucket
These two still need their embroidery patches, but they main body work is done. I will pull out the embroidery unit for my machine when I get the chance and bravery to go up into spider city to grab it out of the hallway closet.



Mmkay~! That should be it for now~! Secretary-chan starts tomorrow so yay~! I need to give her the run down and explain a bunch of stuff to her but you guys be nice to her, okay? hahaha okay I seriously need Starbucks. @_@ I am off to grab a Pumpkin Spice Latte~~!

I also forgot this little detial on the Squirlte hoodie I post in my last post:
Photobucket

I also finished up one people plush project but I believe it was a gift for someone so I will wait to post it until I know they have received their gift. ^^; (even if there is only a .00001 chance they would ever it~~~)


Oh! I and I meant to write about this sooner, but I wanted to let you all know about the dentist stuffs that I had/have to get done.
So I went back to the dentist on Tuesday to have the prep work done before the surgery. X___X Welllll~~ under closer examination, it turns out I don't have enough bone in my jaw to have the original procedure done so luck me needs a bone graft since they won't be able to save the tooth. They are going to take bone from my hip and stick it in my face~~~ q__q;

Uuugh it really sounds scary and gross and like a horror movie. I am really sensitive to that kinda stuff. U_U;; I have never had any kind of surgery in my life so I am a wreck thinking about it. From what I have been reading about though I go home the same day and just take it easy for a few days. I will have a better idea of what's going on/when once I go in for a consultation. I am scheduling it for sometime this week to discuss the details with Mr. Bone-harvester. ;__; Bleeeh.


MMKAY! I was going to go back and do more patterning on Billy outfit buuut I think I am going to go put a dent in my emails and notes that I let back up! ^_^;;

Have a good night everyone. ♥♥♥

Only about a 1/2 of a day behind the tentative schedule which really isn't that bad considering I am also doing a metric buttload of commercial work too. *_*;;

I am actually getting a little burnt out between commissions and commercial work, so I have come to the decision that I may have to close commissions very soon. x_x;; I hate to have to do that but I have little to no time for myself or my comic which I promised myself I would be shopping around again by now.

It won't be a forever thing or anything though, so no worries! ♥ I just need to take a break, kill off a good chunk of projects in queue, and wait for the commercial work to slow down, then start taking them again.

I also hate that the turn around time for my commissioned work takes so long. I really want to get the wait time down but it's near impossible to chop with the volume of work I accept. So Yes, I think a break from taking any new commission work would be very good for me as well as you guys so you aren't waiting months for your turn to come up~ ♥


Am I still taking commissions right now? Yes and I will be for at least one to two more months. ♥ But after that I will be closing until I can get the list down a nice chunk. ♥((And anyone who has talked to me in PM about projects or future projects, I will still be more than willing to do them even if my commissions are closed. ^_^ ))

I will give a more exact date as to when taking any new commission work will be on hiatus for a little while, but as for now you are safe. xDDD ♥♥!

Raikou Preview!
So close to being completed. (Just missing the purple fluffies on the back ^^)


My tooth has been acting up over the weekend (throbbing pain in the middle of the night, and any time I sit down~) so I am about to run to the dentist for an examination and an emergency procedure if we think it's about to go. I have no clue what they will suggest but it might be a root canal or extration even? T_T Either sounds scary and I am not sure what the recovery time is for something like that but I just wanted to give you guys a heads up incase I am K.O.ed. Wish me luck. T___T ♥♥♥ The dentist is one of my biggest fears. Ugh.

I under estimated how long a time frame I needed on the Charizard and Raikou projects~~~ I don't think I am going to shift any projects back at least yet, because I think I can catch up within a week. The time frames are estimates for a reason afterall. xD;;
