Etsy Anxiety!!!

[twilightspeaks]

So I went onto Etsy: Alchemy to ask if anyone could make stamps for me. Then, on a whim, I posted another one asking if anyone would be willing to make a TOS Romulan uniform for Andy.

So many people are willing to do this. I'm getting all these bids, from people of various skill levels (from worrisome to awesome) and with various price ranges (

Umm... have a friend or relative who's appropriately hard ass do it for you?

Or think of it as you're the boss and you're hiring employees. You have to pick the best person for the job.

And I don't know, how about "Thank you for your time, be we have accepted another offer?"

I agree with zsomone, that would be a nice way of telling the others no thanks, and as for who should do it, i would try and pick someone who's done a lot of costumes, probably someone familiar with the costume you want, or at least one like it. Just try and pick the best one. That is a pretty hard decision, wish i could help more!! Hope you can find someone!

They must fight it out in the Thunderdome.

But... what if the winner can't really sew?

Oh I forgot to tell you that I struck out on finding costuming people. Apparently the theater program is so broke that they decide what to do based on what they can scrounge up at goodwill

I ended up going with a theater person in another state! I won't be able to afford to get costumes for the whole wedding party, but I can get Andy his, and might be able to get sashes for his half of the wedding party.
