I recently bought a pair of Dritz at Walmart for someone who asked to borrow mine. I didn't want to lend her mine, they were a present years ago. I really dislike someone asking to borrow something and know I shouldn't feel that way. So it makes me feel bad two ways. Gosh darn it.
I'm the same way. I don't like to loan things out because it seems they never come back to me. I try to avoid situations where someone will ask because I feel stingy saying no, but I'm going to say yes. I need to develop something to say that's not offensive but says "No". When asked to sew for people I just say 'I've never sewn clothes for anyone but myself and don't even know where to start to fit anyone else" and let it go at that. But I have yet to come up with something for when people ask to borrow things other than to say "I don't lend my tools"
