Product Information
Full details
The Minerva Deadstock Double Georgette in Kiwi Green is an excellent choice for dressmakers and fashion enthusiasts looking for a sustainable, professional-grade textile for lightweight garments. With its fine, lightly grainy surface and airy drape, it offers a sophisticated structure that is more substantial than standard chiffon, making it ideal for everything from elegant blouses to formal occasionwear. However, because this is a deadstock product, it is available in limited quantities and cannot be restocked once sold, so crafters should purchase enough yardage for their entire project at the outset.

FAQs
Is this fabric transparent?
Double Georgette is semi-sheer. While it has more body than chiffon, you may still require a lining depending on the garment design.
Can I restock this if I run out?
No, as this is deadstock fabric, the supply is limited to the current stock on hand.
What kind of needle should I use?
A sharp, fine-point needle like a 60/8 or 70/10 Universal or Microtex needle is recommended.
Does this fabric shrink?
Like most fabrics, it may experience minor shrinkage. We recommend pre-washing your fabric in the same manner you intend to wash the finished garment.
Is it suitable for beginners?
Because it has a slight slip to it, it is better suited for those with some sewing experience, though it is easier to manage than standard chiffon.
Troubleshooting
Fabric slipping while cutting
Use pattern weights instead of pins and place a sheet of tissue paper underneath the fabric to provide grip.
Stitches puckering during sewing
Ensure you are using a new, sharp microtex needle and check that the machine tension is not set too tight.
Edges fraying easily
Finish all raw edges with a serger or use French seams for a clean, durable internal finish that prevents fraying.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To achieve the best results, always wash the fabric according to its fiber content before cutting to account for potential shrinkage. Because this is a lightweight, somewhat slippery material, use a walking foot or reduce your machine tension slightly to prevent puckering. For cutting, lay the fabric on a flat, non-slip surface and utilize pattern weights rather than pins to avoid marking the delicate surface. When pressing, use a low-to-medium heat setting on your iron and always test on a small scrap piece first to ensure the fiber does not react poorly to the temperature. Store the finished garment on a rounded hanger to preserve the integrity of the fabric grain.
