Come along on a hectic journey as I embark on the task of making an accordion pleated skirt, inspired by the timeless grace of the Edwardian era and 1950’s fashion. Because 5 kids, a new puppy, and launching a business weren’t enough, apparently. Am I some kind of time management supermom guru? FAR from it, as you will see on this video.

Teaming up with Tom's Sons International Pleating, I plunge into the realm of making a high end garment, all while managing the responsibilities of being a mother to five children, etc etc. To add an element of surprise, Mother Nature threw a massive snowstorm in my way, blocking me from accessing my sewing studio!

However, amidst the chaos of my daily life, there are moments of beauty in the intricate details. This video provides a glimpse into the delicate balance between pursuing one's passion, nurturing creativity and embracing the mayhem of motherhood.

Join me on this whirlwind adventure filled with laughter, stress, and elegance as I strive to bring to life an exquisite piece of wearable art. Whether you're a fellow mom entrepreneur, a fashion lover or simply seeking entertainment and relatability, I hope this video leaves you feeling inspired and uplifted.
