I learned to sew by teaching myself at about age nine. I married at age 16...and When Nancy Zieman's show came onto tv, I was thrilled. I learned so much from her. Have the books she authored...tailoring, etc. I do mostly quilting now...but still do some alterations & those books are a lifesaver at times. I have a store/shop now...so don't get to watch, but tape the shows and watch at night. I just rewatched all her 30 year anniversary shows...loved the flashbacks to the old shows. She could run all those old shows and they would still be up to date for how to sew today, as much as they were then. Kudos to you Nancy...wish you all the best.
