Who is Pam Damour?


Known as the “Decorating Diva” Pam learned early in life, while spending time on her grandparents’ farm, that making something from “scratch” was not only a way of life but it was the better way of doing things. Holding on to those values she went from farm to fabric and has had a very successful 35+ year career as an interior designer and sewing professional. Pam offers professional drapery workroom training to the trade and consumers. As a seasoned career speaker, she travels internationally teaching her specialty techniques that have brought her years of continued business as the “Couture of Home Dec Sewing”.


She is the author of Pillow Talk, Cheaper by the Dozen, Got Quilts?, The Tangled HomeHold Everything, Power Serge and producer of 12 Home Dec DVDs. She has designed many patterns, rulers, scissors and other sewing related notions. An interior designer by profession and a quilter by passion, Pam lives on the shore of Lake Champlain in a log home, nestled at the foot of the Adirondack Mountains, where she teaches sewing retreats. Her down to earth nature, never forgetting her roots, combined with her professionalism creates a warm and creative experience. For more information about Pam, go to www.pamdamour.com 

Join Pam for the SGCASG annual meeting where she will present a trunk show accompanied by demonstrations in many sewing techniques she’s developed in her 60+ years of sewing.
