Hello everyone,
I'm not sure if this should be here, or in the Mastermind group, but I'm curious as to everyone's relative duration in completing the various projects. As I'm hoping to launch a small business producing leather goods next year, I'm hoping to gauge my times against the majority of more accomplished crafters here, so I can review my processes and bring my completion times down, as this impacts both my pricing and the number of projects that I can complete.
As an example, the simple card slot wallet, took me 2.5 hours to complete from start to finish, with half the time spent on hand sewing. I know this can go faster, and could likely get completion down to 2 hours, but I'm curious as to the amount of time that others would spend on a similar project.
Phil - would this be something that you could add into the course descriptions, an estimated time for completion for the average crafter?
Thanks everyone,
Rob
Thanks for the quick reply and advice. Just for clarity, when I mention the 2.5 hrs above, that is independent of any drying time (I applied 3 layers of edge painting). As you mention one can easily move to another project while this one is drying, which I had done.
I also appreciate the difficulties of suggesting a duration within the courses as there are multiple variables that may create a range of times. If others on the forum would be interested in this information, I’m happy to continue posting the amount of time it is taking me to complete the various projects with times for the various steps. Just like the comment.
All the best, Rob
