Sewing with Fleece

Fleece is one type of fabric that I just love.

Maybe it’s the texture of it…maybe the warmth…or maybe that fact that it reminds me of a lumberjack, and for some reason, I have a soft spot in my heart for them…but I love using fleece.

I’ve used fleece for many different projects. I’ve created jackets, pillows, hats, animal clothing… you name it, I’ve made it! Fleece is durable, warm, soft and can easily be cut and sewn to create various projects. I’ve cut it, glued it, tied it, knotted it…and truly created useful things out of it that I never thought possible.

Great ideas. I have at least 12 huge bins & I need to use it up so I will be making several of your ideas. I can’t tell which pieces of fleece is no pill. I don’t want to spend too much time on something special to find out later it pulls up! I will check out your other ideas👍

I have used scrap fleece to make a port pillow for those with ports for cancer treatments. Tiny fleece bits can be used for stuffing.
Soft colorful.

I love all these ideas my goal is to handmade all Christmas gifts this year.

I never would have thought of these. Thank you.

Shared this super list with my “quiltee friends” who may have had sewing withdrawal during annual family times, fabulous meals, and the holiday scene. Thanks so much for your collection.

I just found that you can use the polyester fleece as a replacement for paper towels. Because of the fiber content mine have not stained at all. They totally rinse clear. Then again because of thr fiber content, they drain really fast which kerps down mildew.

Yes, I loved all the ideas as well. The beanies are adorable.

I liked absolutely everything. I’ve saved all the scraps from my blanket making, all the scraps from hat making so I have many, many scraps. All these patterns will truly come in good use , thank u so much. Yep, there needs to b a group on Facebook to support us fleecers.

The Swiffer replacements were just what was needed, but make sure they are washed before using.

I’m so glad I found this! I agree that there needs to be a group for fleece lovers! I’ve been making blankets as gifts and with my church group and donated them to a women’s shelter. I save ALL the scraps for “someday”. Now I can use them up! Thanks for the great ideas!!

Fun projects and some will work with minimal equipment. A couple of small projects are sewing enough tiny pieces on a string until you have enough to make a wreath ornament for your tree., some people have made ‘monster’ soft toys and your tiny pieces can be used to make the faces, arms etc. the eyeglass case uses a small amount of fabric. THAnks for the great list, I especially liked the children’s hats.

I saved the links for the knotted fleece pillow, the no sew heart pillow and the no sew rainbow scarf. Thanks!

I loved all the ideas. But what if you’ve got smaller scraps? Thanks!!

Love all the great ideas especially the 2 Swiffer ones!
