I often make purses as gifts for my family and close friends. People I barley know will see one them and all of a sudden want to be my best friend and ask if I will make one for them. My thought is that if they are bold enough to ask, it's OK to nicely say I will be glad to for ..... and quote a a price. This usually nicely ends the conversation, however, I have had some takers and the extra money has been nice.
