LEARN TO SEW PATTERNS

Happy Wednesday everyone! Before moving forward with today’s post, I’d like to offer my condolences and prayers to the family and friends of our beloved Nancy Zieman, who passed away yesterday. Nancy was an incredible blessing to the sewing community. She founded the popular television show, Sewing with Nancy; Nancy’s Notions, a sewing supplies company, and authored multiple sewing books. I loved watching and learning from Nancy and will forever treasure her teachings. She will be greatly missed. Thank you Nancy for your amazing contributions to the sewing community.
