That's not that cool.
But then no one was really buying anything else we were selling.
And so we figured out a way to make an affordable T-shirt quilt.
And apparently that's what the market wanted.
So how do you how do you make money on this?
So, so, so people pay us to turn their own t-shirts into a t-shirt quilt.
And so you would, you know, a typical customer is a mom whose kid is graduating from high school.
She has all of her shirts that she's gotten for sports.
She sends them to us and then we turn them into a t-shirt quilt and we send it back.
And so they pay for the service for us turning it into a quilt.
So it's between $75 and $250, depending on the size.
And that covers the shipping of the quilt back to you, and then the customer pays to ship the shirts to us.
Um, so the, the most popular size is the full size, which is retail 130.
Um, it's, it's up to 30 shirts.
Sure.
So we, so the cost is, I mean, basically each for each quilt we're making between 35 and 45%.
Okay.
So most of the cost goes into labor and then the fleece and shipping.
But since we're making the product in the U.S., the labor is higher than most textile work that's done overseas.
So we made about a thousand quilts a week.
