NEW Insul-Fleece™

Insul Fleece Insul-Fleece is the perfect insulated interfacing for sewing projects like...
  • Lunch bags
  • Teapot & casserole covers
  • Ironing board covers
  • Oven mitts & potholders
  • Quilted blankets
  • Water bottle & coffee cup sleeves
  • Shopping bags (keep that ice cream cold on the way home!)
As featured in
Lunch Bags!
Lunch Bags
Insul Fleece Metalized mylar is layered between polyester fleece to create a high-quality barrier that reflects heat or cold. This special combination of materials is very flexible and easy to sew through. Once it is sewn into a project, it can be machine washed and tumble dried with no bunching! A handy pack of a 3/4-yard cut is enough for a large lunch bag or several potholders. This September release was not in the Fall 2010 catalog - so place your order today!
