My mother can do wonders with a sewing machine and is particularly good at making clothes. She also did most of the stuff in the house herself over the years, from making curtains to installing additional power points and carpentry. The latter were more from necessity than particular wish on her part- Dad couldn't change a light bulb, much less anything more complex! I was very pleasantly surpprised when I got married to discover that DIY did not have to feature in my role profile unless I wanted it to- MY DH is very handy around the house.

My mother and siblings are all good at drawing. My sister and brother are wonderful with making small "fiddly" things- machines or jewerly or other things as circumstances require.

None of us are musical, sadly, although I love to sing.
