Double Velour Fleece and Pattern Suggestions
It's that time of the year when we need all things cozy. There are few things cozier than fleece, so it only made sense to offer a Repreve recycled option.
This fabric is available for preorder until November 25th in 9 different colors. It's velour on both sides, so it's extra squishy and soft. You'll feel like you're wearing a cloud. It's also anti-pill and doesn't fray when cut.
