Upscale Sewing & Upholstery
Pam enjoys gorgeous fabrics with lush textures and natural fibers with a beautiful sheen and soft feel with precious embellishments. Here are some of her designs.

This bag is made mostly of upholstery fabric, with the strap made of an upcycled leather skirt that was bought at Banana Republic in the 80s. The embellishments are of poly curtain taffeta with individually sewn on blue-grey freshwater pearls,
Thick Brocade Divider Curtains with Blue Taffeta Lining
Pam made these curtains to divide off the room while a loved one was staying here. I then made these curtain tie-backs with wire, tigereye, sodalite, acrylic, and other beads.
Custom Upholstered Furniture
In 2015, I found myself with an entire living room suite that needed re-upholstering. You can read about it on our blog. Here is the end result:
