I usually don't make anything for others unless it is my idea to do it. I've heard people criticize quilts that someone has made for them and I don't want others critiquing my work. When you make something for others they can be very demanding and expect it to be perfect and I don't need that at my age (79).
Someone just asked me if I could "take in" a pair of hunting pants for him. It's a size 44 and he wants it to fit someone with a 38" waist. First of all denim is hard to run thru a sewing machine and secondly I'm not going to spend hours on a project and he will take all the credit. Not that I need to be credited for a project but come on now. Because I have altered clothing in the past for people, they think I will fix anything. No thank you.
