Car repairs, seems fun but if I could instantly master it? Oooo I would be doing so many things with that power.
What would you pick?
Omg every woman in the world would want to be your friend! It would be amazing. I'd choose learning any language i wanted, it'd be cool but I fucking hate learning languages so I'm not doing it
My Dad is a mechanic, he taught my brother, they fine tune race cars together. I, being afab, although deeply interested, wasn't included. There's a tafe course near me, that does the basics, if you want to go into an apprenticeship, I desperately want to go. I already have my electrotechnology cert 2. I couldn't pursue it as a career, the electrician thing, because I have kids and no one to watch them. It was so weird being the only woman among men in the elctro course. I loved the learning, though.
Pickpocketing! It's not like I want to use it, it's just that I'll never be able to learn it through practice without jail time.
Digital art - god i so wish i could bring the images in my brain onto a canvas. It would be such a helpful skill as a gamemaster, too
A physical activiyy, like rock climbing or fencing or lifting weights. Instantly being in peak shape would be nice!
Oh! Or 3d modeling, that'd be sick!
Graphic design or 3D computer modeling, because they are closer to the base of my hobby pyramid
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.
Practice makes perfect. Keep an eye on Craigslist and marketplace for a used machine.
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 😁
Definitely piano. Recently started lessons and can't wait to play more of my favorite songs.
Whatever is a hobby I'd love that would make me enough money to live independently with good job security and build a good future with my partner.
