I took my time with it, doing a little bit after work each night for about a week. It took longer to un-weave the burlap sheet than to actually sew everything on. I would guess about 2-3 hours would be about right if the burlap was ready to go. Overall cost was about $20 since I already had the uniforms and the sewing machine.
Having a good sewing machine to work with helps tremendously! I used a $90 WalMart special. Broke a dozen needles, jammed it up a few times, and about took it out and used it as target practice. Got it done though.
