1/4 Zip Fleece
January 2026
When JOANN was in their last month in business, I grabbed a ton of anti-pill fleece with the plan to learn how to sew the classic and cozy 1/4 zip. Using a Youtube video from the channel Slew Living, I was able to draft a collar and facings to add to a sweatshirt pattern from New Look (N6759).
The brown fleece was my first attempt, the collar was huge and the zipper was all wonky. The teal one was my recent second attempt where I shrunk down the collar and had put in the zipper with more precision. These projects were my first times sewing with fleece and first cuff attachments which I was really happy with how they came out. I wear these pieces constantly!
