Sewing. I can hand stitch things but I’m pretty slow. I’d love to be able to create or alter my clothes a lot faster and with a sewing machine.

I love cutting out graphics from old tshirts and sewing them onto blank shirts from the craft store. I have a Yoshi image that I’ve been sewing from shirt to shirt for about 20 years. I still get compliments when I wear it. I want to do that, but faster.

    I think I’d choose sewing too. I did get a machine and I’ve made a couple of things. But a lot of patterns feel like stereo instructions. I did recently purchase a book with some patterns and instructions on tailoring. I’ve read a good deal of it. But yet to have time to begin pattern work.

    I had a book called Generation T that was a lot of using existing shirts to change a look, which is what I really like to do vs following a pattern. There was also a couple in the early 2000s who do a lot of DIY videos and encouraged people who use what they already had to create new things. I can’t remember their channels name right now, but they were around for a while.

    My MIL has offered to get me a sewing machine, but I need to focus on it first. Too many hobbies 😁
