Description
Fleece weighs little and warms a lot — which is why it sits in jackets, blankets and children's winter clothes. At 222 g/m² and 152 cm wide the fabric suits the usual paper patterns. It is made from 100 % polyester.
With Olive you choose a colour that reads fresh in spring and muted in autumn. Fleece is not waterproof; for rainwear it belongs as a warm inner layer beneath an outer fabric. Before cutting, a look at the care symbols on the article pays off. Small leftovers work well for hats or appliqués.
What Fleece in Olive 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, ideally turned inside out and without fabric softener so the pile stays fluffy. It may only go in the dryer on a low setting. Bleach is off limits according to the care label.
May I iron the fabric?
Only if needed, on the lowest setting and from the reverse, ideally with a cloth in between. Too much heat flattens the pile. Usually it is enough to smooth seams with your fingers or topstitch them closely.
Is fleece waterproof?
No. Fleece keeps you warm even when slightly damp, but it lets rain through. For rainy weather it belongs as a warm inner layer beneath a softshell or rain jacket fabric.
How do I stop the layers from shifting?
Use fabric clips instead of pins and a walking foot that feeds both layers evenly. Slightly less presser foot pressure and a longer stitch also help, so the soft pile does not bunch up.
