my jeans.

It dawned on me that they might make these out of fleece. I have a softshell which doesn’t have any fleece and would like to add some. However I can’t any iron on fleece patches.

Do they exist? Where can I get them.

I don’t know that you can buy them ready made, but you can buy iron on interfacing with the glue on both sides. A common brand name is Stitch Witchery. I would only recommend this for small areas, however. I can’t see it being a good way to line an entire garment.

Thanks guys.

This is more for fun then anything else. DIY project.

Small is ok. I’m mainly interested in fleece lining the chinguard so that it doesn’t abrade me. Some paneling on the back where I get cold would be good as well.

squink – THANKS!

You have any experience with the stuff?
