Sewing Ramble & Commissions?

Hrm... I just remembered that making hats are actually hard at times. I had the bright idea to try and make a Grimlock hat for one of my friends. Of course, it didn't quite come out as I had planned. Then again, it was a good trial and learning experience.
Course I know I can make basic animal hats. I've made one before with black felt. It's got green eyes and a pair of ears. I learned quite a few things while making it. Like... how to sew eyes on and how to sew ears... as well as how to sew them onto the hat.
I shouldn't forget that I have also made a tail. Same black felt, but it did give me quite a few lessons on what to do, and what not to do.
To keep on topic, sewing glove fingers together, WITH the fingers inside is a good and bad idea. Though it was required for a future costume.
Did I forget to mention... everything I mentioned has been completely done by hand? It's not easy, but it's quite interesting. I've only recently gained a sewing machine, but I've yet to use it.
Heh. Saying all of that was fun. ^_^
I'm kinda debating if I should sell the hat and tail. Most likely they would go together and all. Though I'm not sure if anyone would be interested in buying them.
The hat itself fits an adult head. The tail is about... 40"-42" long. I did base it off of my height so even it would drag on occasion.
If I did offer these, with images shown of course, would anyone care for them? I'm thinking maybe... $15 for both. This is because of the cost of the box for the hat & tail along with the shipping itself.
This brings me to my next thought... would anyone be interested in these types of hats/tails? Depending on time and cost, I'd assume a $15-$30 range. I set it like that mainly due to costs for time, material, box costs, and shipping. So the usual.
And back around... I'm OPEN to taking the commissions for them, so I'd be more than happy to talk about them.
Ah yes! I almost forgot. This may sound strange, but perhaps I could even offer those big tote bags. Florida often has them, for the beach supplies and the like. Probably $10-20$ range for them.
Lesse... I suppose my final note is that I'm currently working on making my own fursuit. It's mainly a simple clothing one, but it's more work than I thought. The end result will be worth it!
To re-cap on what was said and such...
Animal Hats & Tail: $15-$30
Animal Hat: $10-$15
Animal Tail: $5-$10
Tote Bag: $10-$20
And payments, easier, are PayPal. Sorry, no Money Orders or Checks.
