I sew for the dancers, one is the brother in law of a friend and about twelve years ago he found a tailor who is not there anymore and the guy quoted a price of $85 to make him a drawstring bag to use in a magic trick. I laughed when he said that and told him I'd do it in five minutes and wouldn't even charge for him for something so simple. Somehow that turned into making a pair of jeans into tear away pants, which I had no clue how to do at the time, and went on from there. I've had to make some weird costumes for those guys, but it's kind of fun.
