Sewing with Nancy is an American television show about sewing, hosted by Nancy Zieman.[2] It made its debut on the now-defunct Satellite Program Network (SPN, later Tempo Television) in September 1982.[3] On September 1, 1982, PBS began airing the series, which was distributed by NETA. As of 2011, the show aired on 89% of Public Television stations in the United States.[3] It was the longest-running sewing series in the history of North American television.[3]
Sewing with Nancy was co-produced by Wisconsin Public Television[3] at Vilas Hall on the University of Wisconsin campus in Madison. Zieman had Bell's palsy, a one-sided facial nerve paralysis, and talked about the condition on an episode in 2011.[3] On September 5, 2017, Zieman announced her retirement due to cancer;[4] she died just over two months later, the day after the final episode was broadcast.[5] Older episodes continue to be broadcast on PBS under the name The Best of Sewing with Nancy.
