A Fleece For All Seasons

With the infamous sighting of the groundhogs shadow predicting another six weeks of winter still left to go, the desire for all things warm and cozy is still in demand. Luckily for those on the hunt, there is a wide array of wonderful fleece material in popular NFL teams, novelty prints, notable characters and solids still stocking the shelves of local fabric stores to wet your whistle and please your creative sewing palate. From apparel and accessories to no-sew-fleece-throws, pillows, and crafty makings, fleece offers a lightweight warmth combined with the kind of ease-of-care that those who seek during the wintry months enjoy year after year.

MLB & NFL Craft: No-Sew-Fleece-Pillows!

This time of year we at J&O Fabrics get swamped with calls from individuals looking for the perfect NFL & MLB fleece to make the ever so popular “no-sew-fleece-throws” as holiday gifts for die hard football and baseball fans, friends and loved ones alike. And while this inexpensive and easy-to-make gift is sure to please all by itself, why not go a step farther and use your remaining remnants to make a matching no-sew-fleece pillow as well? What better way for fans to snuggle up to the game then with their head resting just as warmly as their body wrapped up in their favorite team. If two yards of fleece is just enough for your throw, then add an extra 1/2 yard onto your fabric total to make the complete set. No-sew-fleece-pillows are just as easy to make and require less time to complete. Even by themselves, they make a great accent piece to an already fanned out sports bar or rec room. Just purchase a pillow form, cut to fit, and tie away! Even bring it to the stadium for a warm and toasty toosh as you show your team spirit!
