I believe that people of all sizes should have
really great clothing choices, and it’s frustrating
that that doesn’t exist, so I make it exist.”
Everyday life often holds new adventures
and surprises for Miss E and she counts this
as a driving force in her creativity. “Every
day that comes to me is a new adventure.
I have zero idea what’s going to happen
next and who I’m going to meet. The day
always brings really interesting stuff….
sometimes you walk into the wrong store
and end up with a photoshoot, or you meet
somebody with a really cool car, or you
meet somebody who needs a crazy pair of
shoes made…you don’t know what’s going
to happen…so I just roll with the punches
and see where I land.”
Miss E also emphasizes that she is always
trying new things with her “rogue sewing.”
For example, “what’s going to happen if
you cut this pair of shoes in half? You will
never know unless you try, right?” As her
knowledge base of working without patterns
and with unconventional materials and styles
has evolved, her ideas have gotten more
and more epic. As long as she can imagine
something, she can probably figure out a
way to do it. Likewise, her advice to budding
seamstresses/designers/artists is to just be
“open to adventure and have a positive
mindset that this thing is going to turn out.
Eventually you’re going to get there, and it
will be awesome in the end.”
