If you have a Swiffer Sweeper, you can use fleece to make reusable covers for them.

It also makes super warm pillowcases.

Hillbilly, I just went here: http://www.sewthankful.com/TimberLanePress.html

line kids sweat pants to make them warmer, from just below the crotch to the ankle, that way you don't have to take the whole pant apart, just the side seams :D:D:D

Okay, so I ordered from Sew Thankful. Not a problem, not in a hurry, but about 2 hours after I hit the button to 'buy' I received an e-mail telling me that my order had been sent..... Sent? Already? I will probably get it mid week next week. I'll let you know!

Can you use it between denim or flannel layers for rag quilts?

Sew some into the shape of a simple mitten and use them as a dusting mitt.

I don't see why not. Just as long as it isn't out with the 'rag' part. This stuff doesn't 'rag'......

Also, be careful of a very hot iron, this stuff will melt.....

This is in response to MommaDorian's question.

I buy remnant fleece. I find matching flannels and make baby blankets (crib size). The fleece makes it thicker so you don't need batting.
