    Yes I do watch Sewing with Nancy. I also have went to her shop in Beaver Dam, as that is in my hometown area of Fox Lake, WI. My cousin also works at her shop. And I also saw Nancy at a church I attended years ago – pretty cool to see a star!!!

    I have watched Sewing With Nancy since the 1980s (yes, it dates me) and remember so many little bits of the shows. I really liked how she showed how to adjust a clothing pattern to fit. And Mary Mulari's sweatshirt enhancements. Congratulations to you, can't wait to see the show.

    I didn't know anything about Nancy Z. until we moved to Oregon and our neighbor, an excellent seamstress, told me about her favorite show. Since then I have seen a few episodes but I more often hear about them from my neighbor, who is now also a good friend.

    I watch sewing with Nancy every Saturday morning. The most memorable shows, for me, were shows on landscape quilting that she did with Natalie Sewell. I also like the show where she did a retrospective of her career, and showed clips of her early shows. Thanks for the fun!

    Yes! I watch Sewing with Nancy and am very proud that she is a fellow Wisconsinite. My favorite episode was a recent retrospective on her early shows. I'm not sure I'd have the courage to let anyone see how I looked and what I wore in the 80's. 🙂
    She's a pioneer with regard to TV sewing shows.

    Years ago when my boys were young the local public tv station had lots of sewing/quilting shows on. I used to watch most of them to my sons' frustration. They still know most of the names and projects. Sewing with Nancy was a favorite because of the wide variety of projects. I now watch on my computer whenever I get a chance.

    Used to watch Sewing with Nancy but haven't in quite some time. I remember thinking how easy she made everything look and wishing someday I would be like that.

    I watch online but not on TV. This is just the reminder I need to look up Nancy on PBS online. I'm faraway in Sweden, so it is not always "available to view in my country".
