In my experience it will also make you appreciate aspects of physical production that don't apply to programming. For example, how precisely you need to cut fabric and join/pin/baste fabric together before you sew such that it looks nice. I'm glad I don't need to reckon millimeter precision on a ruler for my job.

What kind of stuff do you make sewing? About the only think I've ever wanted to sew was a new pocket on a jacket

working with your hands and developing physical craftsmanship is unbeatable
