I just started sewing and it feels like a thing I could devote all my time and energy to
Oooh I also sew. I mended a reusable grocery bag the othet day. Currently I'm sewing stuffies as christmas presents.
What projects are you working on?
I made a dress as my first project last month. I’m planning to try it again and see if I can do some things better.
Funny story, I finished it just before a con for my other hobby. I wore it one night. All my friends told me how impressed they were. Then I probably left it in the hotel room tangled in the bedding? Feels kind of best case scenario to me.
