The Minerva Core Range Brushed Cotton Flannel is ideal for sewists and crafters looking for a soft, comfortable material for everyday garments and home projects. Its 100% cotton composition provides excellent breathability and a cozy feel, though as a flannel, it requires careful handling during the cutting and sewing process to maintain pattern alignment. Featuring a classic navy and red check, this versatile fabric is an excellent staple for shirts, pyjamas, and quilting.

Yes, cotton flannel is stable and easy to sew, though managing the checked pattern requires a bit of patience.
While it can handle standard washing, air drying is recommended to maintain the softness of the brushed finish and minimize shrinkage.
Yes, all orders for multiple metres are cut as one continuous length.
It is a light-to-medium weight, making it versatile enough for shirts and dresses without being too bulky.
Yes, the fabric is OEKO-TEX certified, meaning it is tested for harmful substances and is safe for sensitive skin.
Use a serger or a zig-zag stitch on all raw edges immediately after cutting to prevent unravelling.
Baste the seams by hand before machine sewing to ensure the navy and red lines stay perfectly matched.
Before cutting, it is recommended to pre-wash the fabric at 40 degrees to account for any potential initial shrinkage. Use a standard universal needle (size 70/10 or 80/12) for general sewing, as these are typically sharp enough to pierce the brushed surface without snagging. Use a standard polyester thread that complements either the navy or red tones in the fabric. When storing, keep away from direct sunlight to prevent the vibrant check pattern from fading over time. Always iron on the cotton setting, preferably with steam to remove any wrinkles accumulated during shipping or washing.
