I recently made a quilt, as inpired by meli's patchwork pillow ;D
I backed it with fleece, and now I have a ton left.. what can I do with it other than make it in to a blanket?
I want to use it cos fleece cost lots of cash money ha.

get started on next year's christmas presents by making up a bunch of scarves? :o)


(completely off topic, but I thought it was funny that my little sisters - they're 7 and 9 - spent several hours on Dec. 26th making necklaces and earrings for next years gifts, out of the beads and supplies I gave them the day before....)

Love fleece - easy to sew and no ravels on the edges. So, how about making: pillows, table runners, curtains or window toppers, socks (I found a pattern through Green Pepper - dumb name but some interesting outdoorsy type sewing patterns), vest, coat (button/zipper front or pullover), tea cozy, hats, headbands, mittens, purse/totebag, poncho....... Geez, I've had way too much caffeine and I spent my lunch hour at the fabric shop looking at patterns so I've got sewing-on-the-brain now! Fleece also makes a nice, stable, thin batting or lining for thing syou want to make with other fabric that might be too delicate or would stretch out too much - I'm thinking about using up some leftover fleece to stabilize and add some oomph to a tote bag by putting it between the outer fabric and the lining. Does that make sense? Anyway - have fun, fleece is fabulous!

PS - Wonder how strips of different colored fleece would look as a braided rug? So many ideas, so little time.....!

you should make pillows! yummy fleece pillows. throw pillows, eye pillows, anything. you can never have too many pillows. yeah.

Those Green Pepper socks ROCK. A friend made me a pair and they are so cozy.

Have you seen the Magritte curtains on SCP? They are fleece.

Fleece is great for scarves, since it doesn't ravel. You can also make a baby blanket.

I love fleece. You can never have too much.

fleece pillows are the best.. also hats! there are instructions for easy fleece hats on martha stewart's website.
