Hi all my name is Andrea. I am the owner of Southern Elegance Events located in Atlanta, GA. When I started draping I thought it was just fabric that you made look beautiful. No w that I know there is more to this art I want to become a premium draper and charge my worth! These designs are from this year (2026).

Learn to value your time like a business asset, not a disposable resource.

Hey tribe We've got a few days left in May. And I want to ask you something before this month closes — If you could go back to May 1st knowing what you know now — what would you do differently? Not to dwell on it. Not to feel bad about it. But because the answer to that question is literally your June strategy. What you would have done differently in May is exactly what you should do first in June. Drop below: What's ONE thing you would redo or start earlier if you had May over again? This is some of the most valuable data you'll ever have about your own business. Use it.

Hey guys! I have to ask you something today. Think back to the moment it clicked for you. Maybe it was the first time you touched fabric and felt something. Maybe it was when a client cried happy tears at their setup. Maybe it was when you looked at your own work and thought "wait, I actually did that." Complete this sentence in the comments: "I knew draping was for me when ___________." No wrong answers. No judgment. Just real moments from real people. I will go first in the comments so make sure you come back and check. Drop it below, I want to read every single one.

Who has an event this weekend? What are you working on?
