Sewing!!
I started sewing because I couldn't afford / have access to items that I really wanted (clothing, stuffed animals, etc.), so I started making them myself!
Now if I see a picture of a thing that doesn't exist but is really cool & I would love to own it, I can just make it!
It can be challenging at times, but I love taking ideas from 2D to 3D. (:
Where do you get fabric? Im a basic person, and could wear the same shirt every day if I had enough of them. I was considering doing this with a basic shirt I saw on Amazon, that I liked, but it's $30.
What would someone need to get started with sewing, if the focus was on making plushies?
Would this someone prefer sewing by hand or by machine?
By machine would be faster, I believe, especially when moving to bigger plushies
That sounds so nice :)
I have some friends who are good at sewing too and it is like a superpower. They can just look at something and then produce a replica - it us amazing :)
