Sweatshirt Fleece Fabric

Sweatshirt Fleece Fabric by the Metre

Sweatshirt fleece fabric, also known as alpenfleece, is a double-faced jersey with a smooth sweat fabric on the outside and a soft microfleece lining on the inside. This heavy quality fabric is made of 40% cotton, 54% polyester and 6% elastane, which gives it enough weight and body for outerwear while still holding a bit of stretch. All colors are stocked in Tilburg and ready to ship, so there's no waiting around once you place your order. You order it per metre, which makes it easy to plan a project down to the last centimetre.

What this jersey fleece fabric is made for

This alpenfleece works well for sweaters, vests and pants where you want a fabric with substance. The microfleece backing adds warmth without extra bulk, so it's a practical pick for autumn and winter garments. Because of the elastane content, the fabric moves with the body a bit, which is handy for pants or fitted vests rather than just loose sweaters. It sews up cleanly on a regular sewing machine, though a ballpoint or stretch needle is recommended given the knit structure and elastane share.

Uni colors and printed options

Here you'll find the uni color range of sweatshirt fleece fabric, all solid shades in stock. If you're after a pattern instead, we also carry a separate line of sweatshirt fleece fabric printed, which uses the same base quality but with prints aimed mostly at children's clothing. Both lines share that same sweat-outer, fleece-inner construction, so you can mix a printed panel with a plain color from this range without any mismatch in feel or weight.

Ordering per metre and stock availability

All uni colors are kept in stock, so you order exactly the length you need and it ships fast. There's no need to buy more fabric than a project calls for, whether that's half a metre for a patch or several metres for a full set of sweaters. Since it's a straightforward fabric-by-the-yard setup, you can reorder the same color later for a matching piece without worrying about dye lot differences.

Other jersey options worth a look

If alpenfleece isn't quite what you're after, our jersey fabrics range covers a lot of ground. For a textured knit, the Waffle Knit Jersey Fabric gives a different surface structure while still being soft to wear. Looking for ribbing instead, the Rib Knit Jersey Fabric and Ottoman Rib Jersey Fabric both work well for cuffs, collars and fitted panels. For something brushed on one side but lighter than fleece, check the French Terry Brushed Fabric (Isoli). And if a bit of sparkle or a corduroy-like texture fits your project better, the Jersey Glitter Fabric and Knitted Corduroy Jersey Fabric are worth a look too.

In short

Sweatshirt fleece fabric here comes in a solid uni color range, a heavier cotton-poly-elastane blend with a soft fleece back, all in stock and sold per metre. It suits sweaters, vests and pants where you want some warmth and a bit of give. Browse the colors on offer and order the length you need, it ships quickly from our stock in Tilburg.
