Fleece is such a great fabric to work with. Here are 30 fleece sewing projects from some of my favorite sewing blogs on the web. I've even included a nice assortment of no-sew projects to make, too!
You'll find blankets, mittens, pillows, stuffed animals, accessories and more! So many great gift ideas for kids to make or receive. One of the first fleece projects that I ever made were these fleece hats from Martha Stewart. I have such fond memories of my little boys wearing these when we lived in Alaska!

Melodie Mangers says
I love the things you've made. What I love the most is the unicorn ear warmers. When I clicked to get the pattern, it wasn't the same one. I like the one you have in the picture. Do you have that pattern to share? I have 3 granddaughters who LOVE unicorns and I would love to make them the earwarmers in the picture. We are having an unusually cold winter. It was -18 this morning and its to get colder by the weekend. Not to mention all the snow we've received. Sounds like another round of half of foot of snow on its way this weekend as well. Thank you for sharing your talents. I don't know how you do it with all your kiddos. God Bless You!
Brandy says
Hi Melodie! Thank you for such a sweet comment! And what lucky grand kids you have to have a grandma who loves to sew for them. So I can't seem to find the tutorial for the unicorn headband anymore! Every time I found the image it linked back to the other one (with the ear flaps). I'm not sure if the blogger updated the tutorial and got rid of the old one, or what is going on! I'm sorry! I'm going to remove that photo from my post so that others don't have that same problem.

I’m looking for a no sew fleece project for my students to make for young chemo patients. Do you have a no sew fleece hat pattern?
Thanks for your help

Hi Brooke, I don't have one, but I have seen this one around and it looks simple enough! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oXYhMYqy1_4

Brooke and Brandy,
If you are still looking for that no sew fleece hat idea, I have one. I cut three rounded-edged triangles (for a kid's hat, four for an adult.) They were about 6" at the bottom, and about 9" long.
First, cut the 6"X9" rectangles. Then make a pattern that is 6" wide at the bottom, 6" wide at the 7.5" mark, then it curves to the top to make a curved sided "triangle."
On that curved side, cut notches like you would for a no-sew blanket. About 1.5" deep and .75" wide. Make sure that all the sides are cut the same.
Tie the three pieces together.
Brandy says
Yay, thank you Patricia!
