Nancy Zieman, hostess of TV’s Sewing With Nancy, brings her 3-part series on The Best Of Tailoring to you in this 60 minute video.


Highlights:
• Updated techniques for jacket construction

• Joining and hemming jacket and lining units
• Finishing touches which produce a professional looking jacket


Reference Material:
To accompany this video, Nancy has written a book titled The Best of Sewing With Nancy.


In this video, Nancy used a PFAFF Creative 1475 sewing machine.



If you have older VHS tapes or DVDs that you would like to donate to be digitally transferred and added to the PFAFF Talk YouTube channel, please send an email. I am currently looking for older Sewing With Nancy episodes and video releases (up to 2005); as well as official PFAFF instructional, starter guide, and promotional videos (up to 2005).
