Coral Fleece Fabric

Coral Fleece Fabric by the Metre

Coral fleece fabric is a thick, plush fleece with a longer pile than standard polar fleece, which is why it feels heavier and cosier against the skin. This category covers our 280 grams/m² coral fleece, sold by the metre and suited to both home sewing projects and larger production runs. The fibers are dense and hold their shape well, so the fabric doesn't shed or pill after repeated washing. Most customers use it for blankets and baby items, though it works just as well for loungewear and soft home accessories.

What Makes Coral Fleece Different

The "coral" in coral fleece refers to the texture, not the color. It's a 100% polyester fleece with a raised pile on both sides, giving it a soft, almost velvety hand feel. Compared to Polar Fleece Fabric, which has a shorter, flatter pile, coral fleece feels noticeably thicker and warmer. That extra bulk makes it a natural choice for blankets and throws where you want weight and drape, not just softness.

What You Can Sew With It

Coral fleece is a go-to for blankets, whether that's a couch throw or a bed topper for the colder months. Baby items are another strong use case: soft blankets, comforters, and plush toys all benefit from the fabric's smooth face and durable backing. Beyond that, sewists use it for hoodies, pajamas, and winter jackets, since the stretch in the width allows for a comfortable fit without needing a separate knit lining. It also holds up well in home decor projects like cushion covers, where you want a fabric that keeps its loft after use.

For a fluffier, longer-pile finish, Minky Fleece Fabric and Minky Fleece Stripes are popular for baby blankets and stuffed animals. Sewists working on more rustic or natural-fiber projects often prefer Cotton Fleece Fabric (Sherpa), while Teddy Fleece Doubleface Fabric gives a similar warmth with a doubleface finish that works on both sides.

What is coral fleece fabric used for?

What is the difference between coral fleece and polar fleece?

Coral fleece has a longer, denser pile than polar fleece, which makes it feel thicker and heavier. Polar fleece is flatter and lighter, so it's often used for clothing, while coral fleece is favored for blankets and cozy home items.

Is coral fleece fabric stretchy?

Yes, coral fleece has stretch in the width, which helps with fit when sewing garments like hoodies or pajamas. It doesn't stretch lengthwise, so keep that in mind when laying out your pattern pieces.

What weight is this coral fleece?

Our coral fleece weighs 280 grams/m², which is on the heavier side for fleece fabrics. That weight is what gives it the plush, blanket-like feel that lighter fleeces don't have.
