Description
Fleece weighs little and warms a lot — which is why it sits in jackets, blankets and children's winter clothes. The web measures 145 cm across; its weight comes to 280 g/m². Its composition reads 100 % polyester.
Brown sits between orange and black and takes something from both: warmth and depth. Animals as a motif work on small pieces as on large, as long as the print is not scaled too big. Pins easily disappear in the pile. Fabric clips on the seam allowance hold the layers more securely.
What Fleece Animal Motifs in Brown is suitable for
- Hats, scarves and headbands, because small pieces need no edge finishing.
- Overalls and sleeping bags for children, as the fabric is warm and washable at 30 degrees.
- Linings for jackets, because fleece adds warmth without adding weight.
Frequently asked questions
How do I wash the fabric?
At 30 degrees on a gentle cycle, ideally turned inside out and without fabric softener so the pile stays fluffy. Do not tumble dry; let it dry hanging or flat in the air. Bleach is off limits according to the care label.
May I iron the fabric?
No, not according to the care label. Heat flattens the pile and can make polyester shiny. Instead, smooth the seams with your fingers or topstitch them closely so they lie flat.
What do I do with leftovers?
Cuddly toys, headbands, mittens, hot water bottle covers or doll's clothes. Because fleece does not fray, small pieces are sewn quickly and need no edge finishing. Small scraps also make good appliqués.
Do I need to finish the edges?
Not necessarily. Fleece does not fray, so raw edges stay clean. For a tidy inside or for garments that see heavy use, an overlock seam or a zigzag stitch on the seam allowance is still worthwhile.
