I’m ShelbyEileenCosplay and am really excited to see that textile arts are included in this instance! I’ve been sewing for 12 years and armor crafting for 10, and competing in cosplay contests for 10. It’s the most challenging and fulfilling hobby I’ve ever tried and I love it so much.

I don't see how this fits this sub.

The sidebar says includes all physical arts, including quilting/fabric/textile based art. The only art isn't allowed is digital. That's why my caption said I was happy my art was included. It's a lot of work to handmake this type of art and it's something that can't be replicated digitally.
