Wow- you must not put that much tulle on them. Mine are shoved full of tulle and cost me more like 5-6 to make. They take me about 2 hours to make. I charge (and get) 25 bucks per tutu, but mine are very full.

I use 75 yards of tulle for tutus up to 2T and 100 yards for 2T-5T, which is alot IMO, they are very full. I get the rolls of tulle for $1 a piece from a local supplier. The larger size costs a little more for me to make so I think I'm going to tack on an extra three bucks for those.
As for how much time it takes, I guess I'm just fast! I actually timed myself last night. Eleven minutes to cut the tulle (could probably do this quicker, I kept stopping to watch snippets of Real Housewives I had Tivo'd) 13 minutes to tie the tulle on, and 12 minutes to wrap the waist, oh and about half a minute to sew the elastic waist. So that's, what, thirty-six minutes, darn I was off by six minutes, lol!
Believe it or not, College Station is actually alot pricier town to live in then San Antonio. The median income is about 25k higher and the median home price is about 50k higher then San Antonio.
