Wrap yourself in the soft and cozy comfort of a fleece throw that you made yourself! Fleece At Home has all of the resources you need to whip up a comfortable blanket for your bedroom, den, or even your car. This collection of patterns features simple instructions and bold graphics. Even beginners can get started on any of the 16 tutorials in this wonderful book right away.
 

Fleece At Home was compiled by design partners and sisters Nancy Javier and Barbara Finwall. Familiar with the world of crafting as well as the world of art, these co-authors use their eye for style in many areas including paper crafts, painting, jewelry making, and (of course) home decor.

This book takes you right to the very beginning of the process. Check out 9 tips for fleece crafting and care before you start making your own throws–you'll be glad you did! Then, flip through the beautiful patterns in Fleece At Home. From the tasteful blue and yellows of the Day in the Country Throw to the bold neon and fun fringe of the Star Gazer project, there's something in this collection for everyone.  

Once you've got the family covered (literally) you can focus on Fido. That's right, Fleece At Home also offers a doggie-sized throw. Add that to the bonus fleece pillow patterns in this book, and you'll see that you can make a variety of projects from fleece. Many of the patterns are super easy to sew, and for those that are a bit more challenging, there are understandable directions and color diagrams to guide you.
