Sew Simple with Rectangles and Squares by Nancy Zieman

From gift giving to personal sewing, Nancy Zieman found many projects could be stitched from the simplest shapes. We’ve already shared the first episode of the three-part series, Sew Simple with Rectangles & Squares, on Sewing With Nancy. This blog posting focuses on part two of the series, sharing useful, yet clever items such as: Hold-it Sacks, Mini Fabric Sacks, Fabric Bins, and Wall Pockets. With 12 complete projects in all, you won’t want to miss this collection.

Hold-it Sacks

The Hold-it Sacks are Nancy’s first sew-simple projects in this episode. Prop up your cell phone or electronic tablet in the cradle area of a Hold-it Sack. Made from laminated fabric, they’re ideal to use throughout your home or office. The unique finished shapes appear as if they were made from complicated patterns, but not these gadget holders. They’re all made from rectangular shapes.

Mini Fabric Sacks

Toss them in a game or use them to hold down pattern pieces, these Mini Fabric Sacks can be both fun and functional. You can easily make three mini sacks in an hour or less.

Fabric Bins

Don’t settle for tan or black bins for your shelf, customize fabric bins to accent your home décor by selecting coordinating fabrics. Make from, you guessed it, rectangle and square fabric pieces. The sewing is enjoyable and the end result is as fresh in appearance as it is useful. Grommets serve as both handles and a focal point.

Wall Pockets

What’s good for the shelf is good for the wall! With a little tweaking of the instructions, fabric bins turn into wall pockets that provide organization and style to any home or work office.

    I learned a lot from Nancy over the years from her TV shows and her books. She was a very good teacher and always made you feel that you could accomplish projects without the fear of failure. Thanks Nancy for leaving us a wonderful legacy!

    I have learned so many sewing shortcuts from Nancy through her television show and her books. My sister and I went to the third warehouse sale at Nancy’s Notions in Beaverton, giving us the opportunity to have met Nancy in person. What a thrill that was! The sewing world lost a ray of sunshine with Nancy’s passing.

    It may be too late for me to enter to win the book but I can honestly say that Nancy had the best sewing show on PBS back when there were no shows to do what she did best. She was the greatest and to win the book would be a great honor..

    Nancy was an inspiring lady in many ways–I read her first book and enjoyed it very much!
