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 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. Sew Simple with Rectangles and Squares, a new 3-part Sewing With Nancy series

Hold-it Sacks

The Hold-it Sacks were 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 would love to go to Sweden and see if the house by the lake is still there that was my Grandmother & Grandfather’s vacation home. Both of my Grandparents on my Dad’s side were from Sweden and came over here in 1923 and never left New York after arriving. They were considered to be very comfortable in Sweden but were poor as church mice here in AMERICA. I would love to win Sew Simple with Rectangles & Squares Book and DVD as I just became a great-grandmother and now have time to sew that I never had when my son was growing up. Good luck to everyone!

    My dream travel destination is anywhere necessary to see some beautiful auroras! I love all the Aurora Borealis pictures on Pinterest and elsewhere. Whether it’s Alaska, Finland, Iceland, or any other northern countries – it wouldn’t matter, so long as I could see and take some beautiful pictures!! Thanks so much for the chance to win!! I’d love Nancy’s book and DVD!!

    I dream of vacationing, if not moving, to Tuscany. I have built up an image in my head of pure paradise. Rolling green hills, vineyards, quaint villas. I had a similar dream about Arizona, until I visited and it was nothing like I’d expected. Maybe I should just stay home and keep my dream intact. 😉

  • Anita

    If you are going to dream, dream big! Around the world a couple of times. Definitely visiting all the sites of the 7 wonders of the world and as many architecturally amazing spots as possible, And maybe stopping in a fabric store or two as we swing through Asia. Going to both North & South Poles is a must!!

    I would love to go back to Glacier National Park in Montana. When we were there in May 2017 the Road To The Sun was closed so only able to see McDonald Lake. So beautiful there!

    I need to go to Denver, CO. My daughter is there and we only see each other about once a year. I am looking forward to seeing all of the sewing and crafts that have been inspired by the mountains. I need a break from all the sand and seashells.

  • B RIEGSECKER

    Do I have to have a dream vacation?! I jokingly tell people I live my life in a 5 to 7-mile radius and am quite content doing so. My dream vacation is my sewing room where I would like to live, uninterrupted, for about a week or two. But that would mean my husband and kids would have to take THEIR dream vacation to stay away…and take the dog with them!

  • DeAnna S
    June 21, 2019

    I would love to visit Australia and experience the Southern Hemisphere. I think it would be interesting to experience the difference in seasons. I can’t imagine July is the dead of winter and December the middle of summer!

  • Lorraine Alves
    June 22, 2019
