Don't you mean professional skill?
Hobby fishing is to real fishing as a flower garden is to farming.
Gardening is small scale farming, not a hobby, but could easily be a farming specialization.

Do you mean some sort of technique?
It is something specifically trained for.

Again specifically trained for.

Sewing is a profession, not a hobby.

Can't see how Climbing fits there, if you took it out I'd say that was a fine DX/H skill.

Athletics (HT/VH) contains Breath Control, Flight, Hiking, Jumping, Lifting, Running, and Swimming.

Um, making everyone automatically able to swim wouldn't work for me at all.

Might even work fine as IQ/H Expert Skill

IQ/H again, at most IQ/VH

Crafting (IQ/VH) contains Armoury, Jeweler, Mechanic, Smith, Electrician, Machinist, Carpentry, Leatherworking, and Masonry.

A bit messed up pairing DX and IQ skills together like that...

Smuggling? I'd just put that one into the professional skills.

Hm, I'd say you'd want to separate out Unbalanced vs Balanced Weapons.
Fencing and Swords default at -2 from each other?

Other than my above comments, I think it's reasonable, don't bother with EH, not worth it.
