Nah, but seriously. It's relaxing. Working on a sewing machine has a rhythm to it. It lets me focus. And cutting patterns and messing with fabric are really consuming, so they keep me from thinking too much about the other, less fun things.
It was the first thing I was any good at, and it's something that everyone reacted really amazingly to. Instead of laughing at me for it, they supported me and encouraged me, and I've gotten to do some really amazing things because of it.
