Agreed that sewing is "technical". Imagine you're an artisan seamster and your clueless boss (zero sewing experience) says stuff like "go faster, it's just putting the needle in the hole isn't it?" or "can't you just tape this part together to meet the sprint deadline and do the sewing stuff later?".
- jaggederest 2y agoWeaving is even more technical. The origin of computer science. I have a significant fondness for warp and weft and remembering which iteration you're on through the pattern Similarly with knitting, to a slightly lesser degree. Arguably using even more spatial reasoning since you're working with an entirely soft medium.
- Ekaros 2y agoI have zero experience in tailoring, but I have seen some patterns and they are not straight... You cannot just ask so can we get square piece of fabric and cut hole in it? And then later demand answers why you did not get fitted suit... There are reason why things are done in specific way and in specific order. And understanding those are technical skills.
- changexd 2y agoI have always been a fan of fashion, but I just think those designer clothes are too expensive, one day I thought "huh I should probably make my own thing, it couldn't be that hard?", I was wrong, DEAD WRONG!, I had no clue how to sew, after digging a bit deeper of "pattern making", I realized that being a consumer is good enough :) I don't mind spending 200 USD on something that may take me years to make and design
