The Minerva Core Range White 1 Suiting Fabric is an ideal choice for garment makers seeking a reliable, medium-weight textile for structured dressmaking projects like trousers, skirts, and jackets. Featuring a sophisticated checked design and a blend of 80% polyester and 20% viscose, this fabric offers a soft, fluid drape that remains easy to handle and sew. While it provides excellent stability for professional-looking finishes, users should note that the white colorway requires careful handling during the construction phase to prevent staining.

Yes, its medium weight and fluid drape make it an excellent choice for a tailored jacket, especially when paired with an appropriate lining.
Absolutely. The medium weight and stable nature of the polyester-viscose blend make it much easier to handle than lighter, silkier fabrics.
Like most woven suiting fabrics, it can fray. It is recommended to finish your raw edges with a zigzag stitch or an overlocker.
The fabric is composed of 80% polyester and 20% viscose.
The fabric is 145cm wide.
Use pattern weights instead of pins, or place the fabric on a non-slip cutting mat to ensure accuracy.
Adjust your machine tension or use a slightly longer stitch length; ensure the feed dogs are clean.
Baste the seams before final stitching to ensure the checked design matches perfectly across seam lines.
For optimal results, pre-wash the fabric at 40°C to account for any initial shrinkage before cutting your pattern. When setting up your sewing machine, a standard universal needle (size 70/10 or 80/12) is typically sufficient for this medium-weight material. Always use a coordinating thread and test your tension on a scrap piece of the fabric to ensure the check pattern aligns correctly across seams.
