The Minerva Core Range Heavy Triple Crepe Fabric is an ideal choice for garment sewists looking for a versatile, high-quality textile that transitions seamlessly from autumn to winter. Designed for those who value structure and elegance, this heavy-weight polyester fabric offers a sophisticated textured finish and a slight mechanical stretch that makes it exceptionally easy to sew and wear. While it is perfect for structured pieces like trousers and jackets, home sewists should note that its heavy 300gsm weight requires careful consideration of machine needle selection to ensure smooth stitching through multiple layers.

Yes. While it is heavy, it does not slip under the foot as easily as silk or rayon, making it very manageable for those building their sewing skills.
No, it features only a slight mechanical give, which provides comfort rather than acting as a stretchy knit fabric.
We recommend air drying to preserve the texture and longevity of the fabric fibers.
While it is opaque and heavy enough to be worn without a lining, adding a lining can improve the drape and comfort when using it for skirts or dresses.
Yes, the Minerva Core Range is designed for consistent solid-color quality across the entire width of the fabric.
Ensure you are using a sharp needle and that your thread tension is balanced. If sewing through thick hems, use a hump jumper tool to keep the presser foot level.
Triple crepe has a weave that can fray if handled excessively. Finish all raw seams with a zig-zag stitch or a serger/overlocker immediately after cutting.
To ensure the best results with this fabric, use a Universal 80/12 or 90/14 needle depending on the number of layers you are sewing. Because the fabric has a slight texture, it grips well under the presser foot, but always test your tension on a scrap piece of the same fabric first to avoid puckering.
