Wish I had gotten the sewing gene. I can't even thread a needle without stabbing myself. I simply LOVE the tailor who now does a great job and saved me from making a mess of things. Goodbye needle and thread!!! ~. ~
I made all my own clothes growing up, combining patterns and fabrics into completely new styles, and now - I pay for someone else to do it for me, too! Even simple alterations, like adjusting a hem, hold no interest for me. A benefit of old age, perhaps?

Maybe a benefit or two. I just had different things I wanted to do, and I'm into volunteering right now. Three days a week I work at my local library and just love it. I've been there 15 yrs. and will continue until my body rebels, or my brain does. Ha Ha.
It seams to me it is sew important to put things back together, repair or make something you created that I can't imagine not being able to make do with what I have. Skills are what you observe or try on your own till you are successful.
