Yes, its medium weight and stable weave make it very manageable for those new to dressmaking.
The cotton composition is generally soft and absorbent, making it suitable for baby towels or bibs, provided the finish is soft on sensitive skin.
As with most cotton fabrics, some minor shrinkage is expected. We highly recommend pre-washing before sewing your project.
Yes, it is part of the Minerva Core Range and is available in other shades such as Pale Pink and Soft Blue.
A standard universal needle (80/12 or 90/14) works perfectly for this cotton waffle weave.
You can tumble dry on a low heat setting, though air drying is recommended to maintain the longevity of the waffle texture.
Apply a zigzag stitch or a serger/overlocker to all raw edges immediately after cutting your pattern pieces.
Use pattern weights instead of pins and cut on a flat, gridded cutting mat to ensure the waffle grid remains perfectly square.
Use a gentle fabric softener or a tumble dry cycle on low heat to help restore the soft, puffy texture of the waffle weave.
To achieve the best results, start by pre-washing the fabric at 40°C to allow for any initial shrinkage before cutting your pattern. When pinning, use sharp glass-headed pins to avoid snagging the textured weave. For sewing, a universal needle (size 80/12 or 90/14) is typically sufficient. Use a standard straight stitch for seams and a zigzag or overlock stitch on raw edges to prevent fraying. Always press the fabric with steam on the cotton setting, but be careful not to flatten the texture of the waffle weave by pressing too heavily with the iron.
