Minor Hobbies: Figure skating and bead-weaving.
Major Hobbies: Sewing and drawing.
For awhile, I really got into figure skating. It's great exercise! But then I developed tendonitis in one of my ankles and had to stop. Hopefully, I'll be able to resume that soon. Another hobby I explored is bead-weaving. I wanted to make a necklace to match one of my Victorian gowns, so I bought a pattern and some beads and went to town. I enjoy the process, but haven't had much time for it lately.
Sewing used to be a hobby for me, but now I'm a private sewing instructor, so I guess I've gone pro. I've made several historical costumes (18th century and 1870s), but lately I've been focusing more on doll costuming. Even that won't be a hobby for long, as I'm planning to have a book on the subject published.
When I'm not sewing or writing, I'm drawing. I really enjoy drawing pencil sketches, scanning them, and then coloring them digitally. In this way, I create detailed fashion sketches for the historical costumes or doll clothes that I sew. It's a fun adjunct to my other hobbies, tying everything together.
