Before having kids I made own stuff a lot. Hubby bought me sewing machine, which has gone to sewing machine heaven now.

My mum & siblings used to make loads. My mum made my wedding dress from a Mary Quant pattern. I still have dress, though it would never fit now. My daughter tried it once. She said I must have been unbelievably thin as it wouldn't fasten. She was about 16 and skinny. It would have been about 6 inches too short though.
All I do now is knitting for wee ones. But eldest one is very fussy, so don't even try for her now as she would turn her nose up, no doubt. I did make her a ballet cardigan, can't really go wrong with that as they've never changed style over the years.
