I have that happen all the time, I have to remind people that it really does hurt me to sew, and that I have to much to do. I do mend things for my boys and mom, but I have a friend that lives at the beach, that wanted me to shorten all her shirts. I had to tell her I just could not do it. She was upset with me, but I just had to be honest with her, because she is always wanting me to make something for her. Maybe that makes me bad, but I just don't want to be a seamstress, I want to learn to and make quilts. God bless.
