Sewing with Nancy is an American television show about sewing, hosted by Nancy Zieman.[2] It made its debut on the now-defunct Satellite Program Network (SPN, later Tempo Television) in September 1982.[3] On September 1, 1982, PBS began airing the series, which was distributed by National Educational Telecommunications Association. As of 2011, the show aired on 89% of Public Television stations in the United States.[3] It was the longest-running sewing series in the history of North American television.[3]
Sewing With Nancy
Sewing with Nancy was co-produced by Wisconsin Public Television[3] at Vilas Hall on the University of Wisconsin campus in Madison. Zieman had Bell's palsy, a one-sided facial nerve paralysis, and talked about the condition on an episode in 2011.[3] On September 5, 2017, Zieman announced her retirement due to cancer;[4] she died just over two months later, the day after the final episode was broadcast.[5] Older episodes continue to be broadcast on PBS under the name The Best of Sewing with Nancy.
According to Wisconsin Public Television, "Sewing With Nancy" was the longest-running sewing series on TV, going on the air in 1982. Hundreds of hours of episodes are still available online at wpt.org/SewingWithNancy.
Zieman also was the founder of Nancy's Notions, a business that sold sewing books, DVDs, fabrics and more, and she helped develop Quilt Expo, an annual Madison event that drew more than 20,000 people.
Zieman announced she was retiring in September, more than two years after she was diagnosed with osteoscaroma, a form of bone cancer. She continued doing the show, with help, for more than two years after the initial diagnosis.
I had the privilege of watching Sewing with Nancy with my Mom when it aired. I was a newlywed, but tried to watch this show with Mom as often as I could. Mom loved Sewing with Nancy, and only 10 years after we learned to watch this together, my mother developed cancer and passed away. These last 25 years, I always had a little piece of Mom with me for Sewing with Nancy, and our general love of sewing. Thank you Nancy Zieman. You will be dearly missed by many!
I have learned so much about Quilting with Nancy. I am pretty much home bound with my husband who is disabled, so I take care of his needs and am teaching myself to quilt. I have been sewing since I was about 6 years old by making doll clothes from scratch (with no patterns). I look at them now and wonder how I made such tiny little stitches for Barbie when she came out. Oh yes, I still have the first Barbie made, I think it was 1959.Anyway, I have made many small baby quilts, but am ready to tackle a real quilt, and through watching Nancys shows I hope to do that. I hope I would have made her proud. I will miss her and my condolences go out to her family. Sincerely, Leslye McCulloch.
Humble and quiet by nature, her viewers saw Nancy as a friend who could provide companionship, encouragement, and a connection to the past. She provided decades of creative inspiration to her dedicated sewing and quilting enthusiasts.
Nancy was a quiet gem who made learning fun and sewing easy. She helped us all to gain confidence and grow as sewists. I so loved her gentle easy going nature. Thank you Nancy for all that you did. RIP.
My Son would have been naked without her awesome videos of how to sew !She has been my Hero in sew many ways, after I seeing then I learned how to create a brand out of knowledge !!!I love you Nancy & your Family & Crew !!!She was like a big Sister that I looked forward to seeing everytime she was available to teach me something new???
Nancy was and still is an inspiration.!! Her talent and wisdom must continue. Her love of sewing was infectious. Share the love and passion you have for sewing with the ones you love. Just like Nancy.
In October, 1989, Alfred C. Sykes, then Chairman of the Federal Communications Commission, came to Wisconsin to formally dedicate a Hall of Fame display, including plaques honoring the inductees, at the State Historical Society of Wisconsin Library in Madison. In 2010, due to remodeling of the SHSW facility, the display was removed. The Hall of Fame exhibit was relocated to the Hilton Milwaukee City Center in 2015 and enhanced with a touchscreen display featuring all inductee commemorative videos.

I have an easy, creative project to share with you today! A few weeks ago, I teamed up with Nancy's Notions to create a pattern hack on a Sewing with Nancy Pattern! They challenged me to turn the Dresden Watermelon Table Decor Set into a set of bags! This was a very fun challenge for me because it was the perfect combination of quilting and bag making.
So here's what I came up with >>> For the main project, I turned a table topper into a circle bag with gusset! This bag is the perfect size for travel or to use as an oversized purse. >>> As a BONUS project, I turned a mug mat into a sweet, little wristlet which can accompany the circle bag or can be used on it's own.
I love how adorable these bags turned out. With this tutorial, I hope to inspire you to make your own set of watermelon bags! Also, let me know what you think of the pattern hack! If you liked this one... maybe I'll hack more Sewing with Nancy patterns in the future! Enjoy, Jess from Sallie Tomato P.S. If you enjoy my patterns and purse supplies, let your local fabric shop know that I sell wholesale and teach classes! Thank you for your continued support and for your love of sewing!
