its fine to make for friends-co-workers but you need to learn they do not get it until you get paid- just like at the store- the money changes hands before the product goes out the door...
or if someone says will you make me one say sure- i need $20 to get started- or what ever you plan to charge- when you have the money- go make the item.
i make beach bags//tote bags for co-workers all the time- when they give me money- i make them a bag- no hard feelings involved.
