The Minerva Core Range Cotton Fleece Fabric is an ideal choice for dressmakers and hobbyists looking for a durable, soft, and breathable material for cozy apparel and home accessories. Crafted from 100% natural cotton and OEKO-TEX certified, it provides excellent comfort and warmth for garments like sweatshirts and jogger pants; however, users should note its 270gsm medium-to-heavyweight nature, which may require specific needle types for sewing through multiple layers.

Yes, it is easy to cut and sew, though its weight requires a basic understanding of machine tension settings.
While machine washable, air drying is recommended to extend the life of the fibers and maintain the soft texture.
The fabric is approximately 270gsm, placing it in the medium-to-heavyweight category.
Yes, the OEKO-TEX certification ensures the fabric is free from harmful substances, making it safe for children.
As a 100% cotton fabric, it offers the natural comfort of cotton, but it is not a high-stretch synthetic jersey.
The fabric is 150cm wide, providing significant surface area for larger pattern pieces.
Switch to a fresh stretch or ballpoint needle and ensure you are using a slightly longer stitch length for thicker seams.
Adjust the presser foot pressure if your machine allows, or use a walking foot to help feed the thicker fabric layers evenly.
To prepare your fabric, it is recommended to pre-wash the material at 40°C to account for any initial shrinkage. When cutting, ensure you use sharp scissors or a rotary cutter to maintain clean edges, as the thickness can dull blades quickly.
For sewing, use a medium-stitch length and ensure your machine tension is balanced for medium-to-heavyweight fabrics. When pressing, use a low-to-medium heat setting to protect the natural cotton fibers. For long-term care, machine wash at 40°C and avoid harsh bleaches to maintain the fabric's soft finish and color intensity.
