buttonholes on fleece   
Anyone have any tips for sewing buttonholes in fleece jackets. I am fed up 
with trying to put a zip in as it twists and stretches and does not lay 
flat, any ideas welcome.

Have you thought of putting toggles on like a duffle coat.
Use a nice braid to use to hold them and for the loops to fasten them.
Just a thought

Yes but I can never get the colours to match the same as the zips,
 I am practising bound buttonholes at the moment.
