I gave my skirt to the seamstress a few days before the 9 days to fix. She said it will be done before the 9 days.
She text me 3 days before the 9 days starting that she is not feeling well but will do it the next day.
I got busy and I realized a couple hours before shkiya that she never called me to tell me its done. She told me she forgot about it. I told her to hold off until after tisha bav.
She text me two days after tisha bav that it is more work than she thought and will be more money. I asked how much she text me a price and it was more than I wanted to spend.
I told her I need to think about it but she never got my message and she went ahead and did the work.
I dont have money now to pay for it. She will not accept the option to pay her later in a week.
I am so mad. I had money when I brought it to her. I would never bring something to be fixed if I didnt have the money but because it dragged on and unexpected expenses came up I would never of done it.
I just dont know what to do. She wants her money but I never gave her the go ahead to do it.
Now sure what to do.

If she gave you a price, that you agreed to, and then raised the price without you agreeing, how could she expect you to pay it?

I'm not sure how your seamstress works, I never get a price upfront, unless I ask. She can sometimes tell me on something that it'll depend on the amount of work. If she gave you a price before she started, then you aren't obligated to pay the extra if you never agreed. Obligation aside, I don't know if it pays to become petty over a few dollars if you always use her and want to stay in good terms with her.
About paying now when you don't have the money, she will need to wait if you don't have yet. If she doesn't want to, just say, "I wish I can pay you today, but I don't have the money yet."

Pay the original asking price..
It's not her fault that you had other expenses come up and now can't afford it but tell her you can only pay the original cost that was discussed.

Why should she wait though? She's done the job that was asked of her.

She did extra work that she didnt think needed to be done originally but she said it was needed when she started the job and she told me it will cost extra money.
Before I said yes or no she went ahead and did it I would of taken it back and waited until I did have the money.
And now she keeps calling for me to pick it up ASAP.

She said she never got your message, that you want to think about it? Usually if you're thinking something over you would pick up the item.
At this point be honest. Tell her you were prepared to pay the original price but right now do not have the money to pay for the extra work, ask her if she wants you to pick it up and pay what you can and then pay the rest next week or if she wants to keep it until you can pay for the whole thing.

The difference in price is not that much $15 which isn't a lot but I don't have that extra money. Also I saved up for the original price because I just don't have any extra money to spare and I had the money when I first gave it to her but I don't have the extra which she just told me about now.
She usually doesn't finish it until I try it on to make sure I am happy with the fit but this time she just told me she finished it and she will drop it off.
I'm just so upset what happens if I don't like the fit?
And she wants a the money right away.

Hatzlochoh! | The problem is that when you Zelle someone their name pops up. Not sure how you would send it anonymously. Maybe you can send a visa gift card to an anonymous email address? Just a suggestion, I’ve never actually tried it.
Hugs op, the seamstress behavior is questionable.

Just be honest. Tell her what you told us. Apologize for the miscommunication, tell her you will give her the extra as soon as you have it.
