The Minerva Core Range Stretch Woven Linen Viscose Fabric in Denim is an ideal choice for garment makers and home decor enthusiasts who want the classic, breathable aesthetic of linen with the added comfort of a fluid, stretchy drape. It is perfectly suited for sewing projects ranging from structured trousers and skirts to relaxed shirts and dresses, though users should be aware that the material requires careful pre-washing to account for the natural properties of the viscose blend.

Yes, its medium weight makes it very stable and easy to handle under the sewing machine foot.
As with most linen blends, some minor shrinkage is expected. Always pre-wash the fabric according to the care instructions before cutting your pattern.
It is best suited for lighter home decor like cushions or drapery rather than heavy-use furniture upholstery.
A standard universal needle, size 80/12, is typically ideal for this weight of woven fabric.
The stretch is subtle but significant enough to improve the fit and comfort of fitted garments like trousers or skirts.
Yes, if you order multiple metres, it will be delivered as a single, continuous piece.
Use a zigzag stitch or a serger on the raw edges immediately after cutting to prevent unravelling.
Use a pressing cloth and a steam iron to safely smooth out creases without damaging the textured finish.
Apply a small amount of tailor's clapper or press with steam and hold the fabric in place until it cools completely.
Before starting your project, it is essential to pre-wash the fabric to allow for any initial shrinkage. Use a cool to warm wash cycle and air dry to maintain the integrity of the fibers. When cutting, use sharp shears or a rotary cutter to ensure clean edges, as the blend handles beautifully under standard sewing machine needles. For seams, a universal needle (size 80/12) is typically appropriate for this weight. When pressing your seams, use a medium-heat iron with steam to remove wrinkles, though be mindful of the heat setting to avoid scorching the viscose fibers.
