I decided to take tomorrow off from school. Not missing any classes but tutoring sessions. I decided it was worth it to gain another day of sewing. I need it done by this weekend and Friday the guild member is coming back for more help. I did tell her I didn't think we could get everything she wants done in time though. Her list kept growing and I was getting thAt "I am in way over my head" feeling. Part of me feels bad...
But for now I am going to focus on my stuff. Still need to do:
-Tack trim down to the front of the kirtle.
-Make seams pretty again and reattach the skirts.
- add new skirt guard
-Draft sleeves (this could be a royal pain in the ....)
- After a hundred or so mock ups cut out and make sleeves
-draft a partlet (easy.... I think)
- cut out and make partlet

I'd be telling the guild member she needs to cut her expectations back to the original idea. No way her stuff should get done at the cost of you having things done for yourself. Should be sharesies!

Don't feel bad! You agreed to do a certain number of things and now she is adding on extra stuff. You have your own stuff to do!

Don't feel bad! If she is new to sewing, then learning to prioritize projects and adjust expectations is an important skill to have. One always gets a bit overzealous in the planning stage but achieving it can be a serious time commitment. As long as you are nice about it (and I have no doubt you were), this will be a good experience for her and in future she can better understand how long a project will take.

You can only do what you can do if it doesn't mess with your own stuff! It's wonderful to be nice and help someone out, it's another when she is just taking advantage of your kindness.
