I have used that method for years. It works really well. I also have learned to say "I'm so busy I don't have time to finish the projects I want to do, much less sew for anyone else" or the one that usually clinches things "I have projects lined up the next 6 months. I MIGHT be able to squeeze you in after that, but I can't promise"
