NEW! Vintage Home Sewing Book and Blog Hop
It’s a fun day here at Nancy Zieman Productions! We’re excited to be part of The Vintage Home Sewing Book Blog Hop hosted by our friend Bev McCullough over at Flamingo Toes. Bev’s NEW! Vintage Home Sewing book from Nancy’s Notions features a colorful collection of eight vintage-inspired projects to sew for your home.
View all eight vintage-inspired projects from the NEW! Vintage Home Sewing book over at the Nancy’s Notions web site!
All eight projects are beautifully laid out in this soft-cover 44 page book. Bev’s Colorful Dresden Floor Pillows, on page 17, especially caught Team NZP’s attention! These sweet Dresden floor pillows look complicated, but they are quick and easy to make with Bev’s easy directions. Nancy Zieman’s Trace ’n Create Dresden Template from Clover is the perfect tool for this project.
Plus the step by step photography in the NEW! Vintage Home Sewing book from Nancy’s Notions is beautiful!
BONUS! All the projects are sewn and shown in the book in two colorways! One set is made in Bev’s bright red/pink/aqua fabric collection, Vintage Adventure from Riley Blake Fabrics. The second set of projects are sewn in a more muted/farmhouse style fabric collection. It’s fun to see Bev’s eight vintage-inspired projects take on new looks in the NEW! Vintage Home Sewing book from Nancy’s Notions.
Team NZP is enjoying Bev’s beautiful book of sewing projects. We know you’ll enjoy it, too. Thank you Bev for including The Nancy Zieman Blog in The Vintage Home Sewing Book Blog Hop!
For a chance to win a copy of the NEW! Vintage Home Sewing book from Nancy’s Notions please view Bev’s project photos over at the Nancy’s Notions site, then leave a comment below sharing which of the eight vintage-inspired projects you’d sew for your home, or for a gift!

I really like the bags. They are so bright and cheerful.
Betty Tolan
I love anything vintage! This looks like a terrific book to get a person going on these bitterly cold days in Northern Minnesota
Lorna DeSantis
I would sew a bag for my daughter!
Susan
It’s so hard to pick a project that I would pick two of the projects, the embroidered bicycle pillow and the vintage embrodery tote. Love to bike so would love to make this pillow for myself. Everyone can use a tote and this one is so charming that I would make one for my daughter and my daughters-in-law.
RockinRobin
I also LOVE the Vintage fabric line from Riley Blake designs. I would make the Dresden pillow for sure.
Ruth L Assaid
I would love to make the bags and the bicycle pillow. The book looks great and I love the fabrics!

The little zipper bag and totes caught my eye as well as the cover quilt. I am drawn to the vintage look and now have my eye on this book. Thank you
Sandy
Hard to choose which one to do first, but leaning towards the pillows.
Marylou
OH! WOW!! what a great looking book-sure would love to add it to my library. I love Dresden plate pattern so think I would first make the pillow but also like the tote bag.
Regina Harris
I would love to make the Dresden floor pillow but in a darker color palette so it would not show dirt as easily.
Linda Kapuscinski
I love this! I would love to make the floor pillow! Also, I love the retro fabric.

The scrappy strip quilt really caught my eye. That would be my first project but the Dresden plate pillow would not be far behind. I truly love the vintage fabric line from Riley Blake.
Marilyn D.
I would make the quilt. Love the simplicity of the pattern and that material is so pretty and cute, but I think it would be pretty in any colors.
Lynn
Pillows! New sofa pillows of bright colors and fabrics would brighten up these dreary winter days.
Jean Baker
I would make the coasters and the bag. Do not have room to make the quilt, have to stick with smaller projects.
Donna Fecteau
I love the towels what a cute idea! This would be an awesome book to own. Hope I win!
Julie Kill
I need something to brighten up my living room and to prepare my mind for Spring. It gets kind of dreary in the northland. I would love to make some pillows and the quilt in both the farmhouse and the vintage type prints!
BevM
I like the Diamond Quilt and the Quilted Box.
PS. I am also named Bev, and have been on a “quest” to find a Bev under the age of 50 or 60. Does the author apply?

This is a very pretty book – just to have it sitting out as a display. But the contents of how to make the items is even better. I would like to make the zipper pouch and all the items would make great gifts for grads, newlyweds, birthdays, etc. I hope i can win this book. Thank you kindly.

Our craft group does a gift exchange during the winter holiday season. The first tote I would make would be a gift. The next totes would be for me. One can never have too many totes. I would incorporate the dresden plate on some and definitely apply a zipper pocket in each.
