I should have listened to you guys

Some people are just so selfish. They are also SO clueless about the time and effort that is required to make things. I say all of that to say that I also have a hard time saying no, but I am learning to do it more and more.

This is incredibly ballsy behavior. In the interest of helping her break such habits and refrain inflicting them on others in the future, turn her down NOW!

It is hard when you are a good person to deal with users! It is okay to turn her down even at this late date. Just let it sit, and do nothing. You do not have to respond to her at all. If she has been a TERRIFIC customer in the past, MAYBE you can decide to do something in the future, but you don't have to stress yourself now.

don't do it. you'll be sorry.
if she thinks that there's enough fabric for more than one, and you only give her one, she'll think you stiffed her on the fabric. she's not reliable and i wouldn't go near her. i also wouldn't trust her to pay up.
i'd call and say when you didn't hear from her, you assumed she had changed her mind and you made other commitments. you hope that she keeps you in mind for any future products she may need.
in reality, she had a lot of nerve dropping everything off with you not there to discuss the project.
