This guide is for sewers and crafters looking for a versatile and beautiful fabric. The Minerva 100% Cotton Poplin offers a unique printed design and easy sewability for garments like dresses and shirts.

Deadstock fabric refers to leftover rolls of fabric from a manufacturer or brand that were not sold. Using deadstock fabric is a sustainable practice as it helps reduce waste and prevent these materials from ending up in landfills.
Yes, this 100% cotton poplin is known for being easy to sew and press, making it an excellent choice for beginners.
It's ideal for dresses, tops, skirts, shirts, children's clothing, and various craft projects. Its medium weight and soft finish lend themselves well to apparel.
As this is a deadstock fabric, quantities are limited. Once the available stock is sold, it may not be restocked.
The fabric has a width of 110cm (approximately 44 inches).
Like most cotton fabrics, it can shrink. Pre-washing the fabric before use is strongly recommended to account for any shrinkage.
While it's a medium-weight cotton, it's primarily designed for apparel and crafts. For upholstery, especially high-traffic items, a fabric with higher durability and rub counts might be more suitable.
Pre-wash the fabric according to care instructions. Washing and drying will soften the cotton fibers.
Ensure you are using the correct needle size for cotton fabric (typically an 80/12 or 90/14 universal needle). Check your machine tension and stitch length.
Wash with like colors and use a color-safe detergent. Avoid harsh detergents or excessive heat during washing and drying.
Use a sharp rotary cutter or fabric shears. Ensure the fabric is laid flat and smoothed out before cutting. Consider using a cutting mat for precise results.
