You must sew awfully fast. I've been sewing most all my life and I can see that taking me a couple days, including cutting of course, so that would bring my price, just for labor, up to $400. I don' think the asking price is unreasonable. My garments are quite well made, though, and fully lined if necessary.

With a serger? Couple of hours, tops. Of course, I could build a complete tent in a couple of hours, when I did it for a living. Now I deal with maps and data bases and school buses, thank goodness, and get to do my sewing for
fun.

Who Knows!  But I could sure sell them a lot cheaper than that!
