I am supplying the batting, lining and snap. She provided the outside fabric.

My daughter has several bags I've made (for love-not money) and I told her to just casually mention that "Mom gets $25.00 for these" so that will probably end asking for another one. And I never thought about the liability issue of a long strap on a child's bag, thank you so very much for mentioning that.
I like your plan of having your daughter say this. I would have her add: 'You know, this is a real compliment to you, my Mom usually charges $25 for one of these." Not to induce guilt, but to underscore that this was truly a gift of your time and supplies.
