This is how I handle it when am get asked.
I keep a notebook and write down things pertaining to my sewing, quilting and so forth… I keep this small book with me at all times so that I can refer to it when I go fabric shopping etc. When someone asked me to make or sew for them I just pull out my little note book and tell them that I am so busy right now but that I might be able to work them in sometime mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm let me see……. next year. :twisted: :evil: :wink:
