Now I'm glad I made this post and got that suggestion about "fabric you have on hand"! I had thought about amending the listing to say "2-3 weeks lead time" to give myself wiggle room, but making fabric availability part of it is an awesome idea. Thank you!!! I might say I'm willing to look for different fabric but that the customer is responsible to purchase it. Last thing I need is somebody asking for fabric that costs more per yard than what I charge to make something!

I might raise my custom price too. Right now I'm basically recouping the fabric costs and maybe paying myself at minimum wage for an hour of work, but it takes me a lot longer to make them than that, and all the extra communicating and brainstorming with the customer eats up even more time.
