Georgi Pearson says she’s “a Mom with a serious sewing problem,” a stay-at-home mom and part-time seamstress with “spring and a little bit of Mother’s Day on her mind.” The budding idea of a Spring Trunk Show came into full bloom with Pearson. “I got the idea from a woman in Toronto who was doing …
