@Wayfarer , I agree with everyone’s comments. Even if you are using left over fabric for other projects, it’s easy to forget that the fabric did cost you something originally. If you start to get lots of orders, you certainly might want something to cover your time.Would have thought big squishy hugs , as a reward, were outlawed in Bolton
People often ask me to make quilted personalised cushions and I’ve worked out that fabric etc plus cushion pad costs at least £14. It is surprising when you add everything up. They usually pay £20-25, which is not a lot for 2-3 hours work, but then it is really just a hobby for me and that covers my costs and for friends I’m happy to do them a favour. For people I know less well, I often wonder if they’ve ever looked online to see the price of personalised things. I hope so, as I always have this nagging feeling that they think that’s quite a lot to pay.
