If I wanted to take up a new craft I'd like to learn cake decorating. Not sure why since I don't bake cakes and I even prefer pie over cake. It just seems like it would be fun. When I was younger I used to make quite a few clothes for myself but as I got older and things "shifted" (ha ha!) it became tiresome to do all the up front pattern adjustments needed. I must say, though, one of the best vacations I ever took was when I went to Portland for a week-long Palmer & Pletsch fit workshop. It was held in the classroom at the enormous Fabric Depot store where we could keep a running tab of things purchased and were given wholesale pricing. The woman that sat next to me in the class was a twig (I am definitely curvy) - we were partners and had to practice on each other. Practically the only alteration she needed was making things longer (so easy!); I on the other hand needed full bust, full upper arms, rounded back, blah blah blah....we kept breaking into gales of laughter when she would hold up examples of my necessary alterations and the pattern pieces were Frankensteined and obviously not for her. It was a lot of fun.
