Warm Fleece

Are you making any holiday gifts this year? Have you ever used fleece? I like this material because its very warm, and you usually only need to wear that layer with maybe one shirt underneath.

Fleece is made up of napped synthetic fibers. Your regular fleece that you can buy at almost any store, is actually known as polar fleece.

Even though some fleece is very cheap feeling (think the snuggie..you know that thing with the armholes, that acts like a blanket?), you can find some very nice, non synthetic fleece at shops like BlueFly.com, and Nordstrom.

"The concept of knitting in design brings the designer, and the wearer, back to the basics of garment construction and production. It enables us to dig deeper into our creative ways of thinking, thus creating better, more interesting works."
"I remember receiving a children's fashion designer kit from my grandparents, on my father's side, when I was about seven years old, which I loved. This small token of love helped harness my passion as a young girl. This is what started and sparked my first curiosities in the needle arts and craft."
