I guess I am lucky to have two daughters and a daughter-in-law who all love to do a variety of handwork/sewing - and are quite skilled. All wish that they had more time to do so - challenging careers and children take up most of their time. I can remember when I was in the same position. Now in retirement I can spend more time on such activities. I encourage and teach my grandchildren to sew when they are with me - just like my mother did. The joys of being a grandma!
