The account was initially created to share her creations with her grandparents, whom she was unable to see due to the COVID-19 pandemic lockdown. “I didn’t realize. She told us. We were having dinner during lockdown and she literally announced, ‘I need a mannequin.’ She was very serious. Not laughing. I was like, ‘Well, I’ve never seen you interested in fashion. What are you talking about?’ She said, ‘That’s because I don’t have a mannequin. If you get me a mannequin, I’ll show you. I’m a dressmaker,'” Sherri said in an interview with People.
