Minerva Deadstock Viscose Jersey Stretch Knit Fabric - Grey

Deadstock refers to high-quality leftover fabric from fashion houses or mills that would otherwise go to waste. It is a sustainable way to source unique textiles.

Yes, but be aware that viscose jersey can be slippery. Using plenty of pins or sewing clips and a walking foot can make the process much easier for beginners.

Like most viscose blends, there may be minimal shrinkage. Always pre-wash your fabric before cutting your patterns.

At 170gsm, this fabric is generally opaque for standard garments, though very fitted items may show slight stretching.

As this is a deadstock fabric, it is a one-time limited-edition find. Once it is sold out, it cannot be restocked.

Ensure you are using a stretch-compatible stitch (like a narrow zig-zag or a serger stitch) and a jersey needle to allow the thread to move with the fabric.

Apply a light starch spray before cutting to help stabilize the edges, or use sewing clips instead of pins to keep the layers aligned.

Avoid hanging the garment on thin hangers; use thick, padded hangers or fold the garment to store it flat and reduce tension on the fibers.
