The Minerva Core Range Stretch Woven Gingham Seersucker is an ideal fabric choice for intermediate dressmakers and hobbyists looking to create comfortable, stylish garments like shirts, dresses, skirts, and pyjamas. Its blend of 99% polyester and 1% elastane provides a subtle, reliable stretch combined with a stable hand that is easy to manage under the needle. While its lightweight nature makes it perfect for breathable apparel, users should be mindful that the seersucker texture requires careful pressing to maintain its signature puckered finish without flattening the fabric.

Like most woven fabrics, it will fray at the raw edges, so it is recommended to finish seams with a zigzag stitch or an overlocker.
Yes, its breathability and ease of maintenance make it a great choice for kids' dresses and shirts.
The 1% elastane provides a subtle 'mechanical' stretch, which is enough to make fitted garments more comfortable but is not the same as the stretch found in knit fabrics.
It is highly recommended to pre-wash your fabric in the same way you intend to wash the finished garment to prevent future shrinkage.
Yes, all orders placed for multiple meters are cut as a single continuous piece from the roll.
Switch to a fresh universal needle and ensure the tension is set for a lightweight woven fabric.
Use plenty of pattern weights and a sharp rotary cutter rather than scissors for more precision.
Use a pressing cloth and apply steam gently, avoiding direct contact with the iron plate.
To ensure your project lasts, pre-wash the fabric according to the care label to account for any minor shrinkage. Use a standard universal sewing machine needle (size 70/10 or 80/12 is typically sufficient). When ironing, use a low to medium heat setting; avoid pressing down too hard with the iron, as the point of seersucker is to maintain its puckered, textured appearance rather than pressing it flat. For storage, keep the fabric rolled rather than folded to prevent permanent creasing along the check lines. The fabric is machine washable at 40 degrees, making it highly practical for everyday garments.
