I'm glad I have finally learned to say NO. If it doesn't interest me or they put 'must have or be', I just say I am not up to doing it. They don't have to know why I'm not up to doing it. I've also found most want it made CHEAP, as in what they will pay me. I sew when I want to and make what I want to. If something special comes of it, I will give it as a gift. I guess I've just gotten 'cranky' but was tired of always trying to please people. Now I concentrate on myself. There are some fabrics I simply cannot stand to handle and they get put in file 13. I'm a happy camper now!
