Sew Much More

Deborah M. Williamson, owner of Treatments For Your Panes, a Shop at Home retail business servicing the Greater Rochester Area and beyond. She has been sewing for 50 yrs. beginning her career in the Dressmaking/Alterations segment. Deborah’s journey began to change when they moved to Rochester from Buffalo, NY due to her husband’s job transfer. As one of the pioneers of a Planned Community of new homes east of Rochester, what better opportunity to learn how to make window treatments and accessories with 120 homes built each year. An added retail fabric outlet was close by allowing many of her customers and Deborah to buy very reasonable decorator fabrics! Pursuing a college degree was always on her mind so 17 yrs. after high school she watched her son get on the bus for kindergarten and began her educational journey culminating in an Associate’s Degree in Interior Design and a Bachelor’s Degree in Business Management. Deborah offers custom/couture soft window coverings, light upholstery/cushions, slipcovers, accessories as well as an Alliance/Priority Dealer with Hunter Douglas. She has taught at the WCAA Inspire 2010 & 2011 in Louisville, Kentucky. She has been one of the founding members of our local Workroom/WCAA Chapter of Western New York.
