The Minerva Core Range Linen Look Textured Cotton Fabric in Teal is an ideal choice for garment makers seeking the sophisticated aesthetic of linen combined with the easy-care nature of high-quality cotton. This fabric is perfectly suited for dressmaking projects ranging from structured shirts to flowing summer dresses, offering a breathable, naturally textured handle that feels great against the skin. While it provides excellent versatility for both casual wear and cosplay, users should note that as a light-to-medium weight material, it may require lining or careful layering if used for garments requiring complete opacity.

Yes, it is suitable for lightweight trousers, though you may prefer to line them if you require more opacity or structure.
As it is a cotton-based product, we recommend pre-washing at your intended laundry temperature before cutting to allow for any initial shrinkage.
While intended for dressmaking, its texture and weave make it a beautiful choice for adding contrast to textile projects like quilts or decorative pillows.
Machine wash on a cool or warm cycle with like colors, and hang to dry to preserve the texture and color.
At 135gsm, it has a medium opacity; it is generally opaque, but very light colors or specific lighting conditions may necessitate a slip or lining.
Use a zigzag stitch or an overlocker (serger) on all raw edges immediately after cutting to prevent unravelling.
Ensure your thread tension is balanced and consider using a slightly longer stitch length to allow the fabric to relax.
To ensure the longevity of your garment, always pre-wash the fabric to account for any potential minor shrinkage. Use a universal needle (size 70/10 or 80/12) for general sewing, as this weight is not overly taxing on a standard machine. When pressing, use a steam iron on a cotton setting to crisp up seams; the fabric reacts very well to heat. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain the vibrancy of the Teal pigment over time.
