Hi I have a question. I have just recently started doing commissions for pay and am not sure how to charge. I already have a rule that they have to pay for materials upfront (Im to poor to risk someone backing out of that), but how should I charge for labor and skill. Any advice?

Hello! I can't believe I've only just found your website. What great work! I've been sewing for about 30 years now and I'm just starting to publicly accept commissions but I have so many questions! I'll be emailing you too.
