I am making curtains for my mil and was wondering what I should charge her. What do you guys think?

Can she afford to pay? I would charge mine for fabric and other incidentals such as thread. Not sure I could charge for my time ...for the MIL... for others who like me to do their bidding, I charge...

For your MIL????!!!!!! ALOT!!!!!!!!!!!! :lol:

If you are supplying the fabric and associated bits and pieces I would only get her to pay for that. I guess it depends on how your relationship is...but I wouldn't charge for the time and labour.

are we talking one window or ten?

I would just charge for the supplies, i.e.; fabric, thread etc. but then again I am not familiar with the relationship you have with her.

How many curtains are you going to be making and how complicated is the job?

sylvia77

I have made 5 panels so far. She asked me if I would make her some curtains and that she would pay me, I'm just not sure how much to charge her.

sylvia77

Normally I charge $10.00 an hour and it took me 5 hours so far. I thought maybe $30.00 would be reasonable.

So most of you think I should charge only for supplies and nothing for making them. Thanks for all your input!

If your MIL approached you and asked you to do it and she offered, then come up with some nominal fee. Its hard to give guidance when there are usually a lot of personal factors involved. Do what you think is right!! :-D
