The colors in fleece hold well and the material is easy to work with, but you should take care to pin it securely into place when you sew as it can stretch a bit.Īnti-pill is a particular treatment method for fleece fabrics that resists the pulling and fraying of regular use, and it lends extra durability to well-woven fleece such as this. It sells for $12.99 a yard and has been brushed and treated to withstand a rough life cycle. Sixty inches wide, this fabric holds a repeating pattern is made up by manhole covers bearing the TMNT logo alternating with the franchise’s four ninjas looking through a circle, the backing done with a green brick print that has just enough contrast not to steal the show. It would make a durable curtain or a comfortable sheet set without much difficulty, and while the pattern may end up too large for quilting squares, it can definitely make front panels or end up a fleece backing on a winter blanket. The pattern might not lend itself very well to everyday clothes, but it wouldn’t be amiss on a pair of pajamas or a housecoat, though as it is fleece it may be too hot for summer items. If you love Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles or you know someone who does, this fleece could be just what you’re looking for. If you don’t have enough for that, it can become part of a patchwork quilt, or fragments can help someone learn needlepoint. Lay it out differently and sew it into a new pattern yourself, either with the same pieces or with entirely new ones. If you end up with scraps or just don’t like the way the pattern lays, each individual part could be cut free with a steady hand and made anew. This pattern probably wouldn’t lend itself well to clothing on account of being so busy, but it is light-weight fleece, so it’s very durable and could reasonably be made into some winter pajamas. Considering it’s saved you thread and time cutting and sewing the pattern, it’s already paid for itself. Sixty inches across and pulling from most of the color prism, the price is only $4.50. Patterned by large quilting blocks framed with corner squares and strips, this fabric is already ready for a life as a sheet, a curtain, or the top of a quilt. It’s already done for you in this pre-printed stretch. If trains are the focus of your project, but you don’t have time to craft them into your fabric yourself, don’t worry.
