Written by Cyd Klein


Polar Fleeces are some ofrepparttar easiest fabrics to sew with. They are soft and warm so they work great for outdoor wear and especially winter parade or pageant wear. Here are some examples of Parade Costumes made using fleece.

First, Don't get fleeced. You put a lot of work into your sewing, make sure it lasts and buyrepparttar 116066 non-pill variety.

The non-pill finish is very important because it preventsrepparttar 116067 surface of your fabric from balling up or pilling after several washings. The less expensive fleeces without this finish are not worth sewing, because they start to look old quickly, leaving you feeling that you've wasted your money and sewing time. Pay up front, or pay later Grandma Loretta used to say.

Any fabric store should be able to tell you whether a piece of fabric has a non-pill finish. This finish is applied only torepparttar 116068 right side ofrepparttar 116069 fabric. That's important to remember because;

FLEECE HAS A RIGHT SIDE AND A WRONG SIDE.

On printsrepparttar 116070 right side is usually clearer orrepparttar 116071 colors are more vivid thanrepparttar 116072 wrong side. On solids,repparttar 116073 right side is smoother thanrepparttar 116074 wrong side which looks more like felt. If your not sure, askrepparttar 116075 fabric store personnel before you purchase it. If you have some already in your stash and are not sure which isrepparttar 116076 right side, washrepparttar 116077 fabric a couple of times. The side that looksrepparttar 116078 best isrepparttar 116079 right side.

When sewing with fleece, you have a variety of weights to choose from.

Micro fleeces are lightweight fabrics, almost like chamois. They're perfect for shirts, leggings, housecoats, lightweight jacket linings, and scarves.
