Work through the record
List care costs you intend to allocate to the garment over your chosen period. Keep shared household laundry costs out unless you state an allocation method.
Your printable worksheet
Use one sheet per alteration and care budget record. Fill these fields: Garment / purchase / alteration quote / paid alteration / care estimate / period / unknown. Leave missing information marked unknown; do not silently substitute an estimate.
Make the next decision
Compare the full planned amount with your spending cap before authorizing work. Save the revised figure after completion rather than presenting a quote as the final bill.
