My goals in sewing

There's been an interesting discussion on Stitcher's Guild about books on industrial techniques that turned into a discussion about whether home sewers should even care what the industrial techniques are and why. I've spent many an hour lately, contemplating just what my goals are in sewing, and I finally figured it out. I tend to dismiss the typical "disposable" RTW as a benchmark because my garments are already above it in terms of fabric quality, construction quality, and fit/sizing. High-end RTW still appeals, though, and provides inspiration (and sometimes a "don't try this at home, they can't even make it look good on a model" warning). Haute couture and many designer collections are too far out there for my taste, too often ranging from the "what were they thinking?" to the weird to the "this designer needs professional help". Yes, I understand that it's art. I just have trouble appreciating some of it. My goal is custom-made/bespoke. Not one-of-a-kind art-to-wear, nothing to make people remember the clothes. I want people to remember me. If they notice anything about my clothes, it should be that they fit well and are well-made.
