About Me

I have been sewing for most of my life and I was in the process of designing, drafting, and sewing children’s competitive dance costumes when Covid19 caused me to detour.  I didn’t want to promote children’s competitive dance during a pandemic.  I switched to fleece since it was more personal or family oriented for use at home.   I make all items from my home, pin free and smoke free, studio in Kansas. 

All About That Fleece

All my items for sale are personally handmade.  I sell in-stock items for immediate shipping, but also welcome your custom orders that I sew for you.  Fleece is fun for young and old from age 1 - 100!  Snuggle up under cozy fleece with popcorn and Netflix.  Fleece is the Spice of Life with so many varieties of patterns/designs, from geometric, ballet, sports, hobbies, to licensed fabrics of NBA, NFL, NCAA, MLB, NHL, NASCAR, Disney or Universal. Find your fleece identity, To Each His Own fleece.

By the Piece, Buy the Fleece.  All fleece items are made with two layers of fleece, with a few exceptions, when two layers would be impractical.  Throws include Bed Topper, Road Trip, Study Buddy, and Wheelchair made of two layers of fleece bound like a handmade quilt with rounded corners and are reversible.  There is no front or back side, you decide which side to display today.

Blizzard and Anti-Pill Fleece 

I use both Blizzard and Anti-Pill Fleece in my products.  I find both to be cuddly and have basically the same functionality.  Not all patterns/designs, and colors are available in one type or the other.  Therefore, I use both types, so I don’t limit the creativity, and have the best of both fabrics.

Pricing

Is based on my cost of fabric and the quantity used.  Typically, the Blizzard fleece is the least costly, the Anti-Pill fleece is priced higher, and the Brand Loyalty and the Licensed fleece are the costliest.  Therefore, you will see pricing incremented based on the following fabric combinations from lowest to highest cost:

Both sides Blizzard

One side Blizzard - One side Anti-Pill

Both sides Anti-Pill

One side Brand Loyalty/Licensed - One side Anti-Pill

Both sides Brand Loyalty/Licensed

Patterns/Design on Fleece

Please use the objects in the pictures to judge the size of the pattern/design.  Example:  A fabric may have 2-inch cats while another may have 8-inch cats.  If the size of the images is important to you and you are unable to determine the size of the image in the pictures; please contact me at Donna@fleececentric.com.  Throws/Blankets/Bed Toppers can support larger images, but to avoid surprises in image size, please verify the size of the image, so you do not receive 8-inch cats when you were expecting 2-inch cats.

Measurements

Manufacturers usually describe fleece fabric as 59-60 inches wide.  This varies since the amount of selvage (waste on the edge created in manufacturing) is not consistent.  This inconsistency forces the width dimension to vary slightly in size.  For this reason, all, measurements provided are approximate, but as close as fabric limitations allow.

Fabric Availability

See a fabric on my website or want a specific licensed fabric, I will attempt to locate the fabric for your custom order.  Fabric patterns/colors are at the discretion of the fabric manufacturers and may not always be available.  Speak Now or Forever Hold Your Fleece; do not miss an opportunity for your favorite fleece.

It’s Easy Fleecy to keep your fleece items looking great for years to come.  Wash fleece alone in cool/warm, not hot water.  Fleece should not be combined with other fabrics, as additional fabrics may cause abrasive wear to the fleece.  Do not use bleach or detergents containing bleach.  If stained; distribute a small amount of detergent over the stain, do not rub, and wash as recommended above.  The use of fabric softener is not needed and is not recommended.  Do not iron or dry clean fleece.

Dry fleece on the lowest dryer setting, do not use dryer sheets and remove promptly when dry.  Fleece dries fast! 

Mesh bags or a cotton pillowcase closed with a hair tie or rubber band are useful for washing/drying small item/s.

YES – Cool/warm water, wash separately, detergent only, lowest dryer setting, remove promptly.

NO – Heat, bleach, fabric softener or dryer sheets, rubbing, dry cleaning or ironing!        

 Special Instructions for Washing Crop Circles

Find the tab of the invisible zipper on the “scrunchie” part of the Crop Circle (a little hidden and hard to find sometimes).    Open the zipper and pull on the “snake”. The two ends of the “snake” should be available from the zippered opening. The two ends are snapped together. Unsnap the ends and pull the snake from the fleece of the Crop Circle. Wash and dry the fleece as directed above. If the “snake” is not soiled, no need to wash. If you do find it necessary to also wash the “snake”, due to an accident – urine, stool, vomit, place the “snake” in a cotton pillowcase and secure with a hair tie or rubber band and wash as above. To dry the “snake” hang it stretched through four (4) hangers and allow it to air dry for a day. Then dry in the dryer on lowest heat setting. Then hang on hangers again to allow it to finish drying. Note: it can    seem dry when it is not completely dry. You can also manipulate the foam within the “snake” by grasping in the center along the length or the “snake” and pulling gently from both sides. After the “snake” is dry insert it into the scrunchie portion of the Crop Circle and feed it around to the opening. Snap the ends together and zip the opening closed.
