My boyfriend and I share a love for fishing, camping, etc. As a matter of fact, we each own our own boats. He has taught me so much more than I already knew when I met him about fishing, cleaning/preparing/cooking the fish, maintaining the boats. But he has a way about him that he makes it fun to learn. Fishing for us is more of a lifestyle than hobby.
My hobby is sewing/quilting. He does not share the same interest in fabrics as I do. Yet he is very supportive. When we have been out of town on major fishing trips he has even made sure we go to the local fabric shops.
He will wash, dry, iron, etc. fabrics to help me with my projects. He helps to load/unload my truck when I am heading to a quilting class. He has set up a large area for me to do my sewing. If I want something changed around he never complains about it. He will also come up with ideas to make things more organized for me. He supports my hobby in everyway that he can.
We share so much in other areas of our lives together. For example, we have been taking water aerobics classes together for over 3 years now. When I asked him to do this initially I was shocked that he was interested. I guess it goes to show you never know what kind of answer you may get until you ask the question.
I have teased him about learning to sew. He reminds me that when things need to be hand sewn, especially large projects, he is the one that usually does that. I think he may be afraid to damage a sewing machine or something. LOL
We are planning on doing a large, heavy duty sewing project together here in the next 6-8 weeks. We need to make new replacement seat cushions for his boat. We have already purchased a used industrial machine for sewing leather/vinyl had it tuned up, bought the marine grade vinyl, searched for marine grade foam. We will see how this project works out for us to do together.
I am thinking he is a keeper for sure. LOL
