Face Mask Sewing Tutorial at The Nancy Zieman Productions Blog

In February, new hope was on the horizon as the COVID-19 vaccine roll-out was underway, with the first shot administered on December 14, 2020. Along with many of you, we signed up to receive the shot and we continued sewing fabric face coverings for family, friends, and our local community outreach centers. We filled the growing need for quality sewing machines by adding bernette Sewing Machines to ShopNZP.com – each at an incredible value thanks to our friends at Bernina. You continued sewing along with us, all of us independently from our homes. Although we were separated by miles, across the country, and around the globe, the sewing community united to make a difference, contribute, and help one another–because that’s what sewers do! You encouraged and guided others while sharing your love of sewing by teaching basic sewing skills to friends that haven’t sewn in a while – or haven’t ever sewn before. Nancy’s words continue to say it all, The love of sewing is our common thread”.  Thank you for your incredible talents and efforts, and thank you for your creative kindness in 2021, and always!

    2021/2022 showed me the difference between people who want to live life and those who want to withdraw. I seek out places and people who try to live, laugh, and love as normally as possible. Eat, drink, and be merry for tomorrow we might LIVE as Nancy lives…with her Savior in heaven!

    2021 was a rough year, but I am trying to be positive and look to the future. With God’s help we can all get through this trying time. I have been able to finish a lot of ufo’s this year. Looking forward to 2022.

    In 2021 I was fortunate to have the opportunity to teach a group of 4-Hers their first sewing experience. Sewing is a very important memory for me because it was time spent with my Mother and Grandmother. I am looking forward to taking this group of 4-Hers to the next step in their sewing experience this year. The 4-Hers’ Grandmothers accompanied them to their sewing classes, thus I was able to share with them some of the tips I learned by watching “Sewing with Nancy”. Sewing is an art that can provide a child with self-confidence and a quality product. Thank you.

    Though the world is filled with many ills, I can always find a friendly face in Nancy Zieman’s videos. I’ve learned so much from her throughout the years. She always left me thinking I “could” do something because she was so good at providing the tools and confidence. I hope to visit her new studio sometime soon. Thank you for keeping her memory so alive! I look forward to introducing my granddaughter to her so she can learn, too.
