Get inspired to sew with one of these fleece sewing projects. These beginner sewing projects are great for a sewing machine or a serger.
Polar fleece is such a fun fabric to work with, and it’s so easy to find. It’s a great beginner knit fabric since it’s mostly stable with just a little bit of stretch.
It makes great blankets and slippers, but I also like using it for a couple of summer projects like reusable splash balls and popsicle holders. There’s even ways you can use it for holiday sewing projects!
What is polar fleece fabric?
Polar fleece fabric is a type of stable knit fabric that has a two sided fluffy pile. It stretches along the crossgrain, but not along the grainline. Polar fleece is durable, insulating, soft, easy to wash, and it is made from polyester fiber.
It’s used in jackets, hats, pants, hoodies, and blankets, and the fibers can even be made partly from recycled plastic bottles. It comes in every print and color imaginable.
