   Don't just think about it, do it! :)

   I'd rather talk about it here than reading something on some website.   
   But I did have a look anyway. :)   
      
   Guess it could be hard to connect needle-work to sci-fi. Or not,   
   depending on inspiration. Hand crafting is cool though. The stuff on the   
   pictures I found looks impressive, and way too fiddly for me to try. :)   
      
   I crochetted my own winter hat a year or two ago. Also sewed my own   
   masks when Corona started. And turned old quilt covers into square   
   shirts (for sitting on the balcony when it's too cold for just a   
   undershirt - what I normally wear).   
      
   Talking about balcony, the landlord attached them to the flats here 3   
   years ago and I bought a ton of pots and soil and plants. Growing my own   
   tomatoes and other stuff (herbs, some fruit, flowers, more vegs). Sooo   
   nice!   
      
   Sitting there is also where I do the sewing and crochetting when I've   
   done enough 'watching my plants grow'. :)
