Pamelas Threads and Memories
Address
Welcome to my shop! Where everything is handmade with love.
I began sewing when I was a young teen. I learned on my grandmothers old Singer machine. It was the first electric model that Singer made. I love watching projects come together! I mostly sewed clothes for myself and my friends throughout school and college. All along I kept hearing "You should sell these!"
Later, I started my family and worked full time. After having babies, I got into fitness to stay healthy and fit. Being tall, I could never find athletic clothes with arms and legs long enough that fit me. So, I made my own. I also taught myself embroidery. Obstacle course racing gave me the confidence to step outside of my comfort zone. I posted my makes on social media. Again, I kept hearing "You should sell these".
Then, I was diagnosed with Lupus. In 2022, I stopped working outside the home. I got involved with making memory bears for our local hospice. Working in healthcare my entire adult life, it seemed like a good fit for me. Making memory bears is truly a labor of love. As people saw my work, the word spread. I started getting contracted to make bears, tee shirt quilts and do custom embroidery. I became known locally as 'The memory bear lady from Plymouth Meeting"!
That's how Pamelas Threads and Memories was born!
