Alteration charges

How much should I charge to hem adult suit pants with a cuff and sew on military patches? I don't normally do alterations. I'd rather make something from scratch!

I was thinking of selling some of my things on Etsy. Right now, my friends will host a purse party (hostest gets a free purse) They serve food and invite their other friends and coworkers. Wella! instant sales. I usually get one of their guests to host the next party. and so on.
