Anti Pilling Fleece Fabric in Lime - for Crafting & Dressmaking

Cosy, soft and wonderfully easy to sew. Our popular plain fleece is anti-pill, so it keeps its smooth finish after plenty of washes, and it’s luxuriously soft against the skin. It’s designed to retain heat, which makes it a great choice for chilly days and cold nights.

Fleece is a forgiving fabric to sew, which makes it ideal for beginners. Cut it, stitch it and wear it, with no hems required. Dressmakers love it for cosy vests, jumpers, dressing gowns, ponchos and loungewear, and it’s lovely as a warm lining for coats and jackets. It’s also great for accessories such as mittens, scarves, hats, cowls and slippers.

At 150cm wide, it also makes a soft, cosy quilt backing, and the extra width means fewer joins. It works for blankets and bed covers, cushion covers, pet beds, baby comforters, pram foot muffs, toys and hot water bottle covers too, so the possibilities are endless.

Ideas for this fabric:
