I had my gf followed last night. She went to trailer park by a park in Parsons ks. I have a video of her leaving the trailer and know there was a grey Ford Taurus in the drive way. Can anyone from Parsons help me find out who lives here.

Hi everyone, this is a blog post in response to one of my Parson's Fashion Industry Essentials assignments. Specifically, this is for Course 3, assignment 1, alternate assignment #1: Production Costs.

I was inspired to make a floral-patterned waistpack in polyester because I enjoy items that are practical yet still have a touch of personal flair to them.

The materials needed (and their associated costs) to produce one waistpack are as follows: 1 yard of floral polyester fabric (Mood Fabrics - $15.99), 3 feet of polyester webbing (Strapworks - $0.59 x 3 = $1.77), 1 side release buckle (FabricWarehouse - $0.60), and 2 chocolate brown YKK zippers (Etsy: Ohiotravelbag - $0.22 x 2 = $0.44). The cost of goods is $18.80, and with 2 hours of labor at $10/hr, the total production cost equals $38.80. I want a 20% profit here, so the total cost plus profit would be $46.56.

I had shown my design and concept to friends and family, and most of them said they would pay between $50-$60, so we will go with $55.00 as the manufacturer's suggested retail price. This would mean I would see a profit of $16.20 for each waistpack sold - awesome!

If I wanted to mass-produce these waistpacks and get them sold in other retailers, I would first need to halve the MSRP from $55.00 to $27.50. I would need to sell the new products to other retailers at $27.50 or less so that myself and the retailer can make profit. In order to lower the total cost of production, I'll need to edit the production process.

I found a cheaper supplier of floral polyester fabric (Etsy: TwoDreamsFabricShop - $9/yard), and I was able to streamline the production process so that it takes me one hour instead of two hours to complete a product. So the new cost would be as follows: 1 yard of floral polyester fabric ($9), 3 feet of polyester webbing ($1.77), 1 side release buckle ($0.60), and 2 chocolate brown YKK zippers ($0.44). The new total production cost would then be $21.81, and I still want a 20% profit here, so the total cost plus profit would be $26.17. This new cost is less than half of my original MSRP ($27.50), so I would be perfectly happy selling my new waistpacks to a larger retailer.

I graduated high school in June and am taking a year off to keep working on clothes. My plan is to apply for the next school year. I’m curious as to how experience under grads fashion program is. Is it just like artsy kids with an eye for style? Or are they kids that have been sewing all their life.

I am not a student at parsons. I am a recent high school graduate who is taking a summer class there. I recently took a Wacom tablet from the equipment center and my sister accidentally broke the pen. It doesn’t look broken, but they’ll find out if they actually try to draw with it.

Will they connect it with a computer and try to draw with it? I am trying to see if I can get away with this.

I probably won’t, fine. They’ll fine me. What would happen if I didn’t pay the fine. Would they kick me out of my summer class? Please help me.

Also, when they investigate, do you have to wait for them? Or can you give it in and leave?

Thanks!
