Re: Venty McVenterson thread! Vent away!

I feel you, fellow Etsy seller. Over the last couple years it's really started to feel like Etsy shoppers have been lulled into forgetting that we're hand-makers, not mass producers, so even if it's so easy to one-click shop for that perfect gift, it doesn't come from Amazon in one day. It comes from actual individuals actually making shit.

I've taken to only putting finished items in my shop, because when I renewed listings where I only had the fabric somewhere in the workroom but still had to do all the sewing before shipping, it burned me out so hard.

Normally I can keep up alright, each big thing takes about an hour to make and I keep 'kits' ready aside from pre-made stuff. But holiday orders tore through my pre-made and my kits and I was ordering supplies and having to wait. I don't mind doing the job, but I never know if people are going to order 10 of design A and 1 Design B, or vice versa, or a dozen of C and 0 A&B and at this point I can't yet afford to keep a backstock of 20 of each design.
