I no longer get asked to make things for others because I tell them they have to provide fabric, thread & pattern and pay for my time and then wait 6 mo because I've got lots of projects to finish first. Stops them in their tracks Yeah! this is my hobby for my pleasure and I make what I want when I want. Doesn't mean I don't sew for others, just means I choose the project. So please don't think you're a meanie because you are taking care of yourself. We need to support each other to not be taken advantage of or take away our love of sewing. Hang in there with your decision, I support you!
