Step One:

Come to J&O Fabrics and pick from a selection of fantastic fleece fabrics for the holidays. Have one of our customer friendly cutting floor assistants cut the fabric into a 2-4yard length depending on the size of the individual who will be wrapped inside.

Step Two:

Wash the fabric with cold water on gentle cycle, or hand wash. Any detergent will do .Lay fabric flat to dry.

Step Three:

Lay fabric out on a large flat surface. Turn one of the shorter ends towards you and smooth out any wrinkles.

Step Four:

Cut a fringe along one short side by making 3-inch deep straight cuts about a 1/2-1 inch apart.

Step Five:

Tie a single knot at the base of each cut strip to complete the fringe along one side of the blanket.

Step Six:

Turn the fleece to the other short side and smooth out the wrinkles. Make the same size cuts a 1/2-inch apart and then tie knots to match the other side.

Step Seven:

Step back and pat yourself on the back. Your completed no-sew Just-In-Time-For-The-Holiday fleece blanket is done! Wrap it up in a box or roll it up and tie a ribbon around it in your own signature fashion. What an easy and lasting gift for that special someone.

Buy me some J&O fabric.
I don’t care if we never shop anywhere else

‘cause it’s the best fabric store in the world!

With opening day less than 20 days away, and the cold weather still lingering in the midst, MLB (major league baseball) fans are eagerly gearing up for another round of submarine style pitches, sneaky stolen plates and out-the-park home run hitters from their favorite teams. With all the excitement of the spring season ahead, it’s easy to overlook some of the simple things that will make the long innings on hard stadium seats a little more comfortable.

It's root, root, root for the home team.

I don't care if they loose.

Whether you’re rooting from the plastic seats of the ball park or from the soft cushions of your favorite couch, our MLB fleeces can offer that extra bit of softness and warmth to go along with the rooting fans and the foot-long hotdogs that make a day at the park all worthwhile.

At J&O, we carry some of the coolest MBL fleece fabrics for our baseball fans nationwide. With a few yards of material and a little creativity, your team spirit can be expressed in the form of a simple logo filled craft project to carry or wear when the pitcher takes the mound.

If you’re a New York Mets fan, make great seat cushions for the ‘fanny’ in you. If you are a diehard Philadelphia Phillies fan, gather your family and lay a home-made fleece throw across your laps or around your shoulders to keep the nippy nights under the big lights a little more special. And if you’d rather be watching dare devil men speed around and around the Nascar track as screaming fans cheer on instead, but you have a knack for crafts too, then gather a yard or two from each teams fleece to make unique gifts for friends and loved ones that they will surely cherish even after the last game has been won.

Yes it's one, two, three strikes you’re out, at the ole ball game!

Out of fabric that is, if you wait too long.

Hurry before it's all gone.
