# Master Project — Custom Bag Business (Digitalization)

**Status:** Authoritative source for digitalization  
**Master document:** `2780257459493577.pdf` (9 scanned pages, wife’s documentation, 2026-07-18/19)  
**Earlier photos + draft inventory:** Superseded where they conflict with this PDF  
**Purpose:** Digitize costing, BOM (bill of materials), versions, and sell workflow for handmade bags/totes/pouches

---

## 1. Project overview

| Item | Detail |
|------|--------|
| **Business** | Handmade bags, totes, and pouches — each piece unique and professional |
| **Base patterns** | **8** (see catalog below) |
| **Versions** | Same base pattern × fabric version (not separate patterns) |
| **Version 1** | Main fabric = **Canvas** |
| **Version 2** | Main fabric = **Waxed canvas** (premium; higher sell price) |
| **Channels** | Market / craft table; notes **$45 table fee / weekend** |
| **Brand** | Commercial label + custom “my label” on pieces |

### Global rules (PDF page 1 / notebook sheet “everywhere”)

1. **Each bag, tote, or pouch**
   - **2 × labels** at **$1 each**
   - **+ $5 additional supplies** (flat per unit)
2. **All pieces are unique & professional**
3. **Version 1** main fabric → **Canvas**  
   **Version 2** main fabric → **Waxed canvas**
4. **Everywhere**
   - Main fabric / exterior fabric = **same** (treat as one role)
   - **Accent fabric** = same unit price as main fabric
5. **Market table = $45 / 1 weekend**

> Digitalization model:  
> `Product = Pattern (1 of 8) + Version (Canvas | Waxed canvas) + Size (if any) + optional accent`

|----------|------------|--------|
| Canvas (main / exterior) | **$15 / ½ m** | Version 1 main fabric |
| Waxed canvas | **$20 / ½ m** | Version 2 main fabric |
| Quilting cotton (lining) | **$18 / m** | Written “18$/1m” |
| Cotton binding | **$1.25 / ½ m** | Confirm vs older “1.25$/m” note — use PDF as written |
| Laminated cotton / coton enduit | **$12 / ½ m** | Square Boxed Pouch note |
| Zipper (bulk) | **$25 / 10 yards** | Roll / by-the-yard cost base |
| Cotton webbing | **$2.50 / m** | |
| Interfacing (bulk) | **$45 / 16″ × 10 yards** | Sheet/roll pricing |
| Fusible fleece / mesh | **Mesh $16 / 18″ × 54″** | Plover page header |
| Accent fabric | **Same price as main** | Explicit rule |

### Hardware & labels (“suite prices”)

| Item | Unit price |
|------|------------|
| Magnetic snap | **$1.50 each** |
| Swivel snap hook (clasp) | **$1.50 each** |
| D-ring | **$1.50 each** |
| Slider / adjusting buckle | **$1.50 each** |
| Commercial label | **$1.50 USD each** |
| My label (custom) | **$1 each** |

### Per-unit overhead (every finished piece)

| Item | Amount |
|------|--------|
| 2 × labels @ $1 | **$2** |
| Additional supplies | **$5** |
| **Overhead subtotal** | **$7** (+ commercial labels if counted separately at $1.50) |

> Note: Global rule says “2× label ($1 each)” while suite list also has “Label 1.50$ USD” and “my label = 1$”. Digital system should support both commercial + custom and not double-count without confirmation.

|-------------------------|-----------------|
| “Small Flower Pocket” | **Plover Pouch** (Noodlehead) |
| “Bum Bag Adult” only | **Lowland Bum Bag** (Adult row active; other sizes struck) |
| 8th pattern vague | **Not So Bumbastic Bag** — full supply list on PDF |

---

## 4. Bills of materials (per pattern)

Quantities are from the PDF. Where the commercial pattern uses yards and she annotated meters, both are kept.  
**Width assumptions** are those printed on the pattern sheets (typically 44″ / 1.1 m or 150 cm / 60″ as noted).

## 5. Version & pricing logic (for the app / spreadsheet)

```
base_cost =
  fabric_cost(version)      // canvas or waxed, incl. accent at same $/unit
  + lining_cost
  + interfacing_cost
  + binding_cost
  + webbing_cost
  + zipper_cost (from bulk or piece)
  + hardware_cost (snaps, D-rings, sliders, magnets…)
  + labels (2 × $1 minimum; + commercial if used)
  + $5 additional supplies

sell_price =
  markup(base_cost, version)
  // Version 2 (wax) sells higher than Version 1 (canvas)

fixed_overhead_channel =
  market_table $45 / weekend  // allocate across units sold that weekend if needed
```

**Rules encoded:**

- Pattern count = **8**, never “pattern + wax = 9th pattern”
- V1 canvas / V2 wax = **same pattern_id**, different `fabric_version`
- Accent fabric cost rate = main fabric cost rate
- Main = exterior for costing roles

## 6. What the digital system should support

Priority features for digitalization:

1. **Pattern library** — 8 patterns with designer, sizes, features, finished dimensions  
2. **BOM per pattern × size × version** — materials with qty, unit, unit cost  
3. **Global price book** — editable material & hardware unit costs  
4. **Cost calculator** — auto total cost + suggested sell price by version  
5. **Label & overhead** — 2×$1 labels + $5 supplies always  
6. **Version toggle** — Canvas vs Waxed canvas  
7. **Inventory / buy list** — aggregate materials for a batch or market weekend  
8. **Market weekend** — table fee $45, units brought, sold, margin  
9. **Open questions tracker** — unresolved qty conflicts (see below)  
10. **Source links** — PDF page ↔ pattern record  

Non-goals for v1: full sewing instructions (pattern PDFs remain external).

## 7. Conflicts vs earlier notebook photos (resolved by PDF)

| Topic | Earlier draft | Master PDF |
|-------|---------------|------------|
| “Small Flower” | Named as Flower Pocket | **Plover Pouch** |
| Version which is premium | Mixed / wax often as “main” | **V1 = Canvas, V2 = Wax** |
| Labels | 1 commercial + my label loosely | **2 × $1 labels + $5 supplies** |
| Not So Bumbastic | Name only | **Full BOM** |
| Costa zipper | None listed | **8″ zipper** |
| Costa fabric | “canvas” vague | **1 m main + 1 m lining** |
| Bumbastic zips | 8″+12″+18″ | **18″ main + 12″ + 12″** (cm-based) |
| Hardware size Bumbastic | Often 1½″ in old notes | Pattern **1″ / 2.5 cm** suite |
| Market | “sells $45 each” ambiguous | **Table fee $45 / weekend** (separate from bag sell price) |
| Plover sizes | Not modeled | **S / M / L** |

**Still ambiguous (keep as open questions):**

1. Label economics: $1×2 global vs $1.50 commercial + $1 custom — which stack is used in production?  
2. Cotton binding price: **$1.25 / ½ m** on price sheet vs **$1.25 / m** on older multi-pattern header  
3. Lowland Adult binding: **2 m** (pattern Adult) vs **12 m** on early photo page  
4. Lowland webbing length: **44″** pattern vs **42″** early notes  
5. Sandhill: exact interfacing qty after strikeouts; webbing vs fabric strap path  
6. 241 Tote: which optional zip pockets / accent path she actually sews for market  
7. Plover: default production size (S/M/L) for cost templates  
8. Sell prices per pattern × version (PDF gives costs + table fee, not full price list per bag)

## 9. Review summary (for Vince + wife)

**Strengths of this PDF as master**

- Clear **8-pattern** set with real BOMs  
- Explicit **V1 canvas / V2 wax** model  
- Full **unit cost book** for fabric, zipper bulk, webbing, interfacing, hardware  
- **Not So Bumbastic** no longer a mystery  
- **Plover** correctly named with S/M/L  
- Business overhead: labels, +$5 supplies, market table fee  

**What digitalization should produce first**

1. Structured JSON/CSV of patterns + BOMs + prices  
2. Cost-per-bag calculator (Canvas vs Wax)  
3. Updated colorful printable from **this** master (not the photo draft)  
4. Weekend market sheet (table fee + units)
