"Fall and Winter" fabric to work with. It is soft and thick, and will keep
one warm on a cold winter night. Fleece comes in solid colors and prints.
Fleece can be cut in any direction without unraveling at the edges. |
| Uses For Fleece - |
Fleece can be used for
many things such as: blankets, scarves, hats, gloves, jackets, and even
pants to keep you real warm during the cold months of winter. |
| Average Cost - |
Fleece usually runs about $5.00
- $20.00 a yard. |
| Comments - |
Fleece stretches, so you must
be careful when sewing with fleece because it could easily "move" when you
are sewing. |

Here is a reversible fleece coat. One
side is Ultra Suede fabric and the other side is off white fleece fabric.
This was a little hard to make. I had to use a lot of pins while
sewing it because fleece stretches so easily. |
| These pillows are made out of fleece. The
great thing about fleece is, it doesn't fray apart at the end. I simply
cut these ends to make it looked fringed. |

Isn't he cute!!! The hat, scarf, and top is
made out of fleece on this adorable snowman I made. Fleece hides many
sewing boo boos. Fleece fabric is so thick that if there is a lump in your
project, you would hardly notice it. |
| This scarf is made out of fleece. This is a
very easy project to make. Once again see how you can just cut the
ends of fleece and the fabric does not come unraveled. |
 |
| The best thing about
sewing with fleece fabric is that the edges don't ravel or come undone. This
means with certain projects you don't have to sew up a hem. Fleece
would be a great fabric to use if making a quick Halloween costume and you
just don't have the time to hem or bind your seams. |
