I loved Nancy Zieman. I'm not even a sewer. Maybe just her calm relaxing demeanor I liked. She had an attractive easy-going manner about her.🥰

I saw this in 7th grade sewing class lol. Since then I've made my own business shirts and going out button ups.

[@jayneterry8701]

Your woman was a wonder 💟🙏

[@sonjathomas6084]

Does anyone know what McCall's Jacket pattern she is using?

[@ljtilmon]

Nancy used a Bernina machine when giving instructions on TV. Do you have any recordings with the Bernina? If not, do you know someone who does?

[@PfaffPfantom]

No, I don't have any. I think she used a Bernina during the early-mid 1980s. She used Pfaff machines from at least the end of the 1980s until 2003.

I thought she used BabyLocks. I wish we could get most of the videos now. I could not afford them back then.
