I came to this thread wondering if there would be many offline projects. Yours sounds great!

Mine was much simpler. I bought a sewing machine because I thought now would be a good time to learn how to sew and maybe I could make masks for myself and family. I never really understood how these machines work and I have to say, they are pretty amazing (even a low tech one like I got - a Singer 4423).

I also gained a ton of respect for people who are good at sewing. It's much more difficult than I thought it would be.
