Hi everypony!
This is a cushion I've just finished today! It's going to be a Christmas gift for my brother.
It's made out of natural materials. Her mane and body are both cotton velvet, her hat is cotton jersey, and her eye and cutie mark are made out of felt.
Someone commented that I should consider doing commissions. I would be happy to do them, but I have no idea of how much to charge.
Can any of you tell me, looking at this for an example, how much people would be willing to pay? And, more importantly, would there be any interest in pony cushion covers? It would have to have a pretty high price tag to make it worth my while (I like get everything just right, so it takes a long time to complete things to my standards :P )
Thank you everyone in advance :)

So cute, and the quality looks very professional too! I'm sure your brother will love it. I really like your background choice, the pale green complements AJ's colours nicely. :)

Oh gosh! Those are some mad sewing skills there :) AJ looks fantastic - I am sure your brother is going to love it!

Thank you, I did try to get the colours looking good together. You have no idea how much time I put into getting everything just right ^^;

Thanks! <3
Yeah, I was thinking about taking commissions, but I have no idea of price. It took me FOREVER to complete this, so it would have to be pretty high. Do you have any idea of how much people would want to pay?

Okay, so I don't know if this is the right place to post this, but here goes.
This is a cushion cover I have made and posted in the Arts and Crafts section of the arena. Someone commented that I should consider doing commissions. I would be happy to do them, but I have no idea of how much to charge.

Oh how fun looking cushion! :)
I'm not sure how much I would pay for it. As buyers opinion the cheaper the better ;D. But seriously speaking how much it costs to make one of those? The price should cover your expenses and then cover your work hours that you have put into it. That is how you can estimate how much you will be asking for. :)

It's easy to price your work. It's not easy to convince people what they need to pay. :)
Definitely cover your expenses first, and then determine what you would like to be paid, then make your decision based on that. How many hours did it take you? As you say, you are very detail oriented and picky when making these, so the price has to reflect that you have spent time poring over each stitch to make sure it's just perfect. Otherwise you are de-valuing your work!

Haha, true that! XD Hmm, I'll have to work out how long it took me to make the cushion...
Oh how fun looking cushion! :)
Thank you! And thank you both for your help :)

I am going to bump this over to Arts & Crafts and merge the threads for you :) As the question is relevant for that forum thats where it should be asked. Thanks!
I would suggest changing the title of your thread and asking for price check opinions - that may help you out.

I think adding the price check request to the title will certainly help you out.
Have you tried looking for similar items on etsy as well? That could give you a pointer for what people are happy to pay for similar items (even if not pony related).

I think that you could try starting around $20-25 for existing characters and then adding on for more complicated designs and custom pillows. :)
