I mean, what's something you can do that people are like, "really? You know how to do that?"

Patch making, and I've no idea why people are surprised about it tbh. It's really easy if you've got access to a printer (or you can trace from a screen) and a pair of scissors.

That said I have a slightly unusual process where I design stencils in fusion 360 and then print them on my 3D printer, they're durable and reusable that way. I'm still working on improving the final print quality, but I've had some really good results like this gigantic Ash Bricky back patch that took me ~20 hours over three days.

DisclaimerI bought the actual shirt I swear, it just wasn't the right shape or size for a back patch. Also I never sell other people's designs like this.

I still have no clue about how you made that

I recognise that patch!
