The Minerva Core Range Baby Soft Sherpa Fleece is an ideal choice for crafters, dressmakers, and home sewing enthusiasts looking to add a layer of plush, luxurious warmth to their projects. Offering a balanced 200 GSM weight and a versatile 150cm width, this fabric is perfect for creating cozy garments like robes and hoodies, as well as soft toys and decorative blankets. While its dense, fuzzy texture provides exceptional comfort and a high-end feel, beginners should note that the thick pile requires careful handling and specific sewing techniques to manage the fabric's loft during assembly.

Yes, it is excellent as a lining for jackets and hoodies due to its warmth and soft texture.
This sherpa fleece generally offers a stable hand with minimal mechanical stretch, making it easy to handle for most sewing projects.
Yes, it is machine washable at 30 degrees. Always follow the care instructions on your specific project to maintain longevity.
The fabric width is 150cm, which is approximately 60 inches.
A standard universal sewing machine needle in sizes 80/12 or 90/14 is typically recommended.
Use a walking foot or dual-feed attachment to keep the layers moving at the same speed.
Use a vacuum to clean the area immediately after cutting and consider overlocking the edges if you are not sewing the garment right away.
Increase your stitch length slightly to ensure the thread is visible and secure on the surface of the fleece.
Proper care begins with pre-washing to account for potential shrinkage. Machine wash the fabric at 30 degrees Celsius using a gentle cycle to preserve the integrity of the sherpa texture. Avoid high-heat drying, as extreme temperatures can damage the synthetic fibers and lead to matting. When cutting, use sharp rotary cutters or scissors and be prepared for some shedding along the raw edges. For sewing, a standard universal needle (size 80/12 or 90/14) is usually sufficient, though a walking foot is highly recommended to manage the thickness and prevent tunneling. Keep pins close together when basting to ensure the fabric remains stable while you feed it through the machine.
