I run a weekly online crafts evening on Zoom
You can find details here
Things I enjoy (and occasionally post about) include
- hand crafts of various kinds – sewing, knitting, quilting, woodworking, bookbinding, etc, etc, etc
- taking things apart and trying to put them back together
- red carpet galas with Fashion!
- books and reading, especially SFF
- taking photos of stuff
My current sewing machines are
- Pfaff 1475CD (the best of 1980s fanciness)
- Pfaff 1222 (chonky metal beast)
- Janome 634D (solid workaday overlocker)
- Singer 66 (gorgeous treadle machine with thistle decals)
- Janome CoverPro 2000CPX (mostly functional; could be way worse)

Influences on this code have included:
