We recently stopped by Nancy Zieman’s office to pin down a few remaining details about the upcoming season of Sewing With Nancy. In Nancy’s words, this season could be billed as a “variety show” of sorts.
Nancy working on the upcoming season.
But don’t expect to see any singing and dancing segments this season. Nancy was quick to clarify that viewers can expect to see a wide “variety” of innovative sewing and quilting projects.
“Sewing quick projects from rectangles and squares, making column quilts instead of block quilts, creating doll costumes, sewing fashion wraps, and learning the absolute easiest way to sew are a sampling of the array of projects that will be shown.”
And that’s just the first half of the season. New episodes are still in the works, but Nancy says viewers can expect to discover a diverse range of sewing and quilting projects throughout the season.
The new season of Sewing With Nancy begins in August with full episodes streaming online right here at wpt.org. Check back Aug. 12 to watch the season premiere. Meantime, click here to watch the most recent seasons online anytime.
Before we left Nancy Zieman Productions, we couldn’t help but poke our heads into the workspace. Here are a few more candid shots from our visit.

Looking for easy projects for my Grandkids..have been teaching them to sew,and would like to fix them a couple of “kits” to make things. Thinking of p j pants…but would like another or two. Any ideas?.. They are ten. Dustie
I am teaching my grandchildren age 7-13 to sew and we are making very simple short sets and pillowcases. A good kit for children would also be a simple pillow
Make a pillowcase, gym bag with square ends, placemats, shopping/tote/beach bag or, etc. There are lots of projects online. Just Google beginning sewing projects.
I will enjoy these programs. I could not get much out of the programs with long arm quilting, embroidery machines, or sergers as I do not own these expensive items. Thanks for thinking of how to use common blocks on projects!
Wish your show was still on Public TV, I get 3 stations here in NE CT but no craft shows anymore. I can’t find any on the tv stations I get.
Hi Sybil,
Sorry to hear you are unable to watch Sewing With Nancy on TV. But I’m happy to say you can watch the most recent seasons online from Wisconsin Public Television. Click here to watch Sewing With Nancy online.
Thanks for your comment!
I enjoy all the programs even if it’s something I don’t plan on doing. You never know!
How about some clothes for children, nothing fancy. My granddaughter is 9 months and when she turns a year old in October I would like to start making her some clothes. I used to garment sew alot but have been quilting for the past 25 years. I have a new Pfaff machine that I need to make friends with and I think sewing for my grand will be the best way. Anything for children will be a great series. Thanks, Nancy
I would like to see a segment on plus size fitting and clothing and less quilting. Also home decor, more children’s clothing…especially for boys.
Looking forward to your new season.
I was thrilled to see a new season is about to begin! You are treasure to the quilting and sewing world! Thanks for all you do, your continued inspiration and the sharing of your expertise in the sewing arts!
Nancy, will your new season be sewing on an Ellisimo, or the new top of the line Destiny?
I’m really looking forward to the doll costumes program. Would also like to see segments on sewing things like table runners, pot holders, aprons, and other things for the kitchen/house.
