Default Pillowcase dress ?

I have made dozens of pillowcase dresses for dd and friends' dds. Tonight, someone I go to church with called and wants to hire me to make 3 for her daughter and 2 nieces. She's willing to pay anything I ask.

I'm happy to do it, but I told her that I would prefer that she supply the fabric. I just don't have the time to go shopping for it knowing that she wants something very specific.

What would you charge for each dress? Do you think $15 a dress is enough? 2 of them will be 3t size dresses. The 3rd one will be a top for a 7 year old. Also, I put a lot of detail into my dresses....overcast edges, french hem at the bottom, elastic front and back with ribbons only for the ties, and ribbon trim at the top and bottom.

If she is supplying the material, then I would say $15 is definately fair enough.
