When my kids were little I only did garment sewing, mostly for them. As they got into school it was easier to find a chance to work on it. I remember doing more crocheting with kids on my lap than sewing. But I have pictures of two of them in cute little matching tan leisure suits and four of them in purple and blue plaid western shirts (one of each for Dad too) that I made. Of course once they were in school there were costumes for school plays, the Christmas parade, etc - a pig, a lion, a candy cane, a donkey, an angel, a Wise Man, a shepherd, a poodle skirt, the list goes on.
Didn't start quilting until fairly recently. And there are weeks when I don't get near my sewing machine and days that it seems like I'm there nearly all day.
Some of it is other priorities and some is desire or lack thereof. I've always been a "have to be in the mood" crafter of whatever struck my fancy at the time. Of course some projects had deadlines so that entered the picture as well.
Good luck on getting motivated again!
