Anyway, I offered the use of a machine and fabric and some basic instruction so they could make masks, and Matt is having a lot of fun with the sewing machine! I told him the line I think I got from Leonf here, sewing machines are power tools with needles! He liked that and thinks maybe he is finding a new hobby/interest/something to do, his homies can tease him all they want but he rather likes this sewing stuff
If he's a car guy at all, suggest he pay attention to what some of the upholstery guys do on those car restoration shows. They do beautiful work. If he's into boats, sails and upholstery there as well. Heck, any custom upholstery work. Into gaming and cosplay? Lots of creativity in sewing the outfits.
