The Minerva Broderie Anglaise Fabric in Ivory is an ideal choice for garment sewists looking to add intricate, classic detailing to dresses, blouses, and occasionwear. Featuring a signature floral pattern with delicate openwork, this light-to-medium weight cotton offers a versatile drape that balances structure and flow. While its breathable nature and elegant aesthetics make it perfect for summer apparel, sewists should note that the openwork design often requires a lining to ensure modesty and optimal opacity.

Yes, it is relatively stable and easy to cut and sew, making it a great choice for those moving beyond basic quilting cottons.
Yes, because of the openwork detailing, a lining is highly recommended for most garment types to ensure modesty.
While the fabric is machine washable, air drying is recommended to extend the life of the embroidery and prevent potential shrinkage.
The fabric measures 150cm in width.
It is perfect for blouses, dresses, overlays, and elegant occasionwear that benefits from a light, breathable texture.
Ensure your needle is sharp and not dull; switch to a new universal needle to ensure a clean pierce through the embroidery.
Always use a high-quality lining fabric like cotton lawn or batiste to back your garment sections.
Use a serger or a zigzag stitch on raw edges immediately after cutting your pattern pieces.
To ensure your Minerva Broderie Anglaise stays in pristine condition, pre-wash your fabric in the same manner you intend to wash the finished garment to account for natural fiber shrinkage. Use a medium-hot iron with steam, but consider pressing from the reverse side to preserve the raised texture of the embroidery. When pinning, try to place pins within the seam allowance to avoid leaving visible holes in the fabric structure. The fabric is compatible with standard universal sewing needles (sizes 70/10 or 80/12 work best) and standard polyester all-purpose thread.
