Thanks so much! I appreciate all of the support. :)

Although I appreciate the sentiment VERY much, I don't think I will go the donation route. It's not abosultely necessary that I make this, and it's not a life threatening situation, so I wouldn't feel right accepting donations. However, I may make an extra helmet to put up for sale to help cover the costs. I want to finish this one first to see how it comes out, then I will begin to think about making one for sale.

It's really great that you all would be willing to help though, and like I said, I appreciate it very much!

Well, I've got more patterning work to do so I had better get back to work. I want to get all the patterns done and get all of the pieces cut out so I can make one trip to my mom's to use her sewing machine. Or rather make one trip to have HER sew it for me on the sewing maching 'cause I don't have a clue how to use one. :)

Thanks again,
Cat

i would sell the first helmet just in case your second one doesnt come out as good and i bet your daughter wont care that bad if its slightly different from the first one and the first one might sell for more because of the quality and such. but if you do put it on ebay tell me the url and i might have my gram buy me it if the price dont get to high cuz it looks way kool i will display it on my wall.

Well, if I put it up for auction, I would probably start it at around $50. There's quite a few hours of labor in this as well as materials cost. If I charged minimum wage per hour of labor, the price would skyrocket, so the $50 would represent a below minimum wage price. That is the problem with this kind of thing - you hardly ever get a decent hourly wage from selling something hand made.

I doubt I will list it for less than that (if I list it at all), and if it doesn't sell, I have until October to save up for the rest. I guess I didn't plan all of this too well. :) I was so anxious to make it once I got the idea, that I didn't think too much about the costs. What can you do though? When the muse gives you inspiration, ya gotta go with it!

That is awesome! I can't wait to see the finished product.
