Ever since I was a teenager, I have had boobies that went into a room before I did. I sewed to make my clothes fit. Then it became my favorite hobby and when I was raising my 4 kids and my DH's business was in a slowdown, I sewed to make money. Also, there's the glow you get when someone says, "Oh, you made that? You are so talented and you can't buy THAT in a store."
