how can i, in a nice way, i get the message across that these aren't going to be freebies? i don't expect her to pay labor, but the fabric is another matter.
i love my cousin, but we aren't close enough for this not to seem presumptuous on her part.
any ideas??

sign me stumped :?: :?
Only thing I can think of is asking her how much SHE WANTS TO SPEND on the fabric. You can add that there are so many variables in purchasing fabric adn price is one of those variables.
