Nancy Zieman's Confident Sewing Collection: Sew, Serge and Fit With Confidence Paperback – June 12, 2014

Book arrived in excellent condition. Nancy Zieman was an excellent sewist and teacher. I am so happy to have this book as a resource in my sewing library.

Another valuable sewing book of Nancy Zieman.Another valuable book of Nancy Zieman’s sewing instruction.

Always watched her sewing programs. I am still learning from the late Nancy Zieman. Her books are so easy to comprehend. Her teaching methods are easy to follow. There are still some videos on the internet on the various subjects. It has been so rewarding to successfully alter a pattern and sew a garment that fits beautifully.

This book combines 3 of Nancy's sewing books under one cover. It is an amazing treat to have them all to help one sew. You can expand into several books and figure out exactly how to sew whatever you want to create. I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to improve their sewing skills. Thank you, Amazon, for having it available.

The absolute best resource for beginner thru intermediate sewists! Advanced sewists may also find this book to be a valuable resource. I'm an intermediate beginner sewist and after watching Nancy's video demonstrating how to do a full bust adjustment on YouTube, and learning that she authored several books on sewing made me so excited to try my hand at sewing garments for myself. I hoped that this book would also have tips on doing other types of fit adjustments for commercial patterns and I hit the jackpot! I found the instructions to be very detailed but explained clearly along with step-by-step photo tutorials for many techniques, especially perfect for beginners! I love the fact that book also includes information on how to use Sergers, which might be my next purchase once I become more confident and satisfied with sewing.

I recently retired and am getting back into sewing. It is great for reviewing how to do and get great results on some less often used sewing tasks. Considering it is actually 3 books, a great deal. Also the fitting methods I am using on ready to wear items that have never fit and need some tweaks..

Well worth the small price for so much knowledge.

I've been sewing for decades, and my makes were always hit or miss when it came to fitting. I recently discovered a great sewing podcast that talked about fitting the pattern to fit your individual measurements. Then, lo and behold! I saw a couple of Nancy's tv shows on PBS where she showed how to make pattern adjustments - this is just what I've been missing all this time. I immediately purchased this book, and it has been life-changing. I took a pattern for a knit top, measured myself according to her method, made the adjustments to the pattern, et viola! I now have a wonderful top that fits me to a T! I highly recommend this book to anyone who sews, whether you've been sewing for decades, or are a complete novice.
