I did a queen rush custom in 15 days and did not charge enough, by time I bought supplies (and customer even supplied shirts for top) I made less then $8.00 an hour. With fabric so expensive now my prices will be 450, 650, 950, and 1350. Now that being said. I would not charge a family member, except to maybe have them buy the fabric, and if I have farm something out like the longarm work. A good friend would be the same, unless I wanted to make it as a gift for them. Do not under charge, your time is worth it, and when we devalue our art, it hurts everyone. Hope this helps.
