This guide is for crafters and DIY enthusiasts looking for a versatile, vibrant fabric for their projects. The Minerva Core Range Matte Polyester Satin in Bright Pink offers a lightweight, smooth finish perfect for garments, accessories, and decorative items, with the key benefit of being available by the metre for custom project lengths. A caveat to consider is its polyester composition, which may require specific handling during sewing and ironing compared to natural fibers.

This fabric is ideal for lightweight garments, costumes, accessories, decorative home items, and various craft projects where a smooth, matte finish and vibrant color are desired.
Yes, the fabric is sold by the metre, meaning you can order the exact length you need for your project.
It is recommended to wash the fabric at 40 degrees Celsius. Air drying is best.
Yes, while it can be a bit slippery, its lightweight nature and smooth finish make it manageable for beginners with careful handling.
The fabric has a width of approximately 160cm, or 64 inches.
Use a low to medium heat setting on your iron and consider using a pressing cloth to protect the fabric from direct heat.
The 'matte' finish means the fabric does not have a high sheen or gloss; it has a more subdued, non-reflective surface.
Ensure the fabric is laid flat and secured with pattern weights or pins. Use a very sharp blade (scissors or rotary cutter) for clean cuts.
Lower the heat setting on your iron. Always use a pressing cloth or iron on the reverse side of the fabric. Test on a scrap piece first.
A light spritz of water or a fabric anti-static spray can help reduce static.
Use a fine sewing needle and ensure your machine is properly threaded. Check for any rough spots on the needle plate.
Care Instructions:
Compatibility:
This fabric is compatible with standard sewing machines. It pairs well with a variety of threads, including polyester or cotton blends. For best results, use a fine-gauge sewing needle (e.g., size 70/10 or 80/12).
Cutting and Handling:
To ensure clean cuts, use sharp fabric scissors or a rotary cutter. Lay the fabric flat on a stable surface. Due to its lightweight nature, consider using pattern weights to keep patterns in place while cutting.
