My 4yo needs a new fleece jacket. I made her a Nature Walk pullover using fabric.com fleece, but it's not very warm (I'm never buying fleece there again!). Then I bought some Malden Mills fleece from Fabric Mart - it is fleecey on one side and sort of a hardish shiny knit on the other. I am planning to make a Sunday Brunch - either according to the pattern, or the version on the flickr group that just used the front and back yokes, extended.
My goal is for this to be as warm as the Children's Place fleece she outgrew last spring. I think two layers of fleece might be overkill, but I'm not sure whether one is enough. Has anyone used Malden Mills? Will a single layer be enough? I could also line the jacket but I don't know whether to use knit or woven. Suggestions?
