The Minerva Core Range organic cotton jersey is a versatile, high-quality knit fabric designed for sewing enthusiasts of all levels, particularly those starting their journey with stretch textiles. Boasting a blend of 95% organic cotton and 5% elastane, this fabric provides a soft hand-feel combined with the ideal amount of body for structured garments. While it is incredibly adaptable for everyday apparel, users should note that the medium-weight 200gsm construction is best suited for standard casual wear rather than heavy-duty layering.

Yes, its medium weight and stable structure make it one of the most forgiving fabrics for those new to sewing with stretch.
As with most natural cottons, some minimal shrinkage may occur. It is recommended to pre-wash the fabric in the same way you intend to wash the finished garment.
It is ideal for t-shirts, tops, dresses, skirts, shorts, and children's clothing.
Yes, at 200gsm, it is a medium-weight opaque fabric that typically does not require a lining for standard clothing projects.
The fabric is 150cm or approximately 60 inches wide.
Yes, being OEKO-TEX and GOTS certified, the fabric undergoes strict testing to ensure it is free from harmful levels of substances.
Ensure you are using a stretch stitch or a narrow zigzag stitch rather than a straight stitch.
Switch to a new ballpoint needle and ensure your presser foot pressure is adjusted correctly for knit fabrics.
To ensure the best results, use a ballpoint or stretch needle (size 75/11 or 80/12) to avoid cutting the elastic fibers in the knit. A zigzag or stretch stitch on a standard sewing machine is recommended to maintain the fabric's natural flexibility.
