Vanilla dream high waisted pencil skirt by Sara
LETS WELCOME, Sara and her Etsy shop EGYPT MACHINE. As you will read below, Sara started sewing and creating at a very young age, and she is still following this dream. When visiting Sara's shop you will find skirts, dresses and more!
What led you to start creating your art/craft?
I started back in high school, recycling old band shirts to look better. I didn't have a lot of money to constantly buy new stuff all the time, so making old stuff new seemed like the thing to do. I actually began Elegy Ink as a junior in high school. I wanted to earn money, because at the time no one would hire me anywhere, lol. ..so I began making simple clothes and accessories and I'm still doing it to this day.
How did you decide what medium you wanted to work with?
Clothes are something I was just better at making than other crafts. So that's what I stuck with.
What aspect of creating your art/craft do you find the most enjoyable?
To me making clothes is the most fun, I enjoy using different fabrics, and techniques for decor. The end result is always the best part.
If you had to choose a fruit OR a vegetable, to describe your art/craft, what would you choose, and why?
I would choose a pomegranate, because its beautiful and interesting looking like my clothes.
If you had to choose one other medium in which to display your “creativity”, what would that be, and why?
If I had to chose one other craft it would be to make bags/purses. I'm really becoming a bag person lately, and I would like to make crazy ones from recycled goods and just expand my creative outlet.
What message, if any, do you want to convey with your art/craft?
Be loud, interesting, bold, and original.
What advice do you have for other artists/crafters?
Do what you know, and do what you love. Being happy is key, and if you can make a buck off it even better!
Sara, thanks for sharing your thoughts and creativity with everyone. I'm sure you will always be looking ahead to see what you can create.
