Dear Sarah: I've not done this sort of work before, but make sure you copyright your work before selling/donating it if you are creating your patterns from scratch, if possible. I do interlibrary loan and some authors have to sign away their rights as author in order to get published. So if they need a published version copy of a work they authored they sometimes have to pay for it.
Also, what kind of copies do they want: full scale hardcopies in what material(paper, muslin, etc), scale copies in what scale, or digital copies? This affects the price you charge, depending on the work you have to put into it to supply the copy format. Hope this helps.

This one is a new one on me. So may I ask the group, especially those have done this aspect of contract work before, what do you charge for your patterns?
