I'm Alison Kelly, the Editor and Creative Director of BurdaStyle.com, another fantastic online sewing community offering pattern downloads, tutorials, discussion platforms and fashion/sewing related blogs. I am pleased to announce that BurdaStyle and Craftstylish have teamed up to share some of our favorite content!

At BurdaStyle I play the role of Editor and Creative Director. I am quite grateful for this expereince as it fills up a part of my soul that's deeply connected to the process of sewing, pattern-making, design construction and the sharing of useful information and inspiration. Something you may not know about me is that I was a contestant on Project Runway Season 3 (the season Jeffery with the tattooed neck won)! I believe Project Runway to be a forerunner in the resurgance of today's new sewers and d.i.y. fashion designers around the globe--and for that I am excited about the attention young designers and creative people have gotten because of it.  I'm also a fashion designer, based in New York city, where I design a collection of womenswear and custom pieces under my label, dahl.

I write two weekly blogs for BurdaStyle; A Young Designer's Diary and an Editor's Pick column. Both columns are dedicated to the craft of sewing, the art of design and my experiences in the fashion industry. I am excited to be a part of a new community of creative people and look forward to meeting some of you!

I must make a few covers for cushions for inside and outside seating areas for a lady.My problem is how do I calculate the prize of the items so that I know how much money to ask her. In this case she bought all the material.Do I ask her per meter that I sew or do I ask her money according to the time it actually take to finish the product?. In the past I made my prize per meter I sew, but in this instance I must also sew in cording and zips. How do I go about if I have to buy everything - do I ask money for all the things I buy plus my time of sewing or do I ask according to sewing per meter. What do I ask if I sew curtains and I sew the curtain tape on - do I calculate my price dubble the meters of sewing?.

I stay in South Africa in a small town and do not have anyone to ask.

Thanks in advance.
