Full details
The Minerva Deadstock Ripple Crepe Fabric is an ideal choice for eco-conscious sewists looking to create sophisticated, fluid garments like blouses, skirts, and wide-leg trousers.

FAQs
Is this fabric suitable for beginners?
Yes, its manageable weight and stable texture make it easier to handle than lighter, silkier crepes.
Does it need to be lined?
While not strictly required, a lightweight lining is recommended if you are creating a dress or skirt that may be slightly sheer in direct light.
Can I tumble dry this fabric?
It is best to air dry to maintain the integrity of the crepe texture, though the fabric is machine washable at 40C.
What does deadstock mean?
Deadstock refers to high-quality leftover fabric from fashion houses that would otherwise go to waste, allowing you to use premium materials sustainably.
Will more of this color be back in stock?
Because it is a deadstock product, once the current stock is sold out, it cannot be replaced.
What is the fabric width?
This fabric measures 145cm in width.
Troubleshooting
Needle skipping stitches
Switch to a new, sharp universal or microtex needle and check that your stitch length is appropriate for the fabric weight.
Fabric fraying at cut edges
Use a serger or a zigzag stitch immediately after cutting to finish the raw edges before assembly.
Difficulty pressing seams flat
Use a press cloth between the iron and the fabric to protect the pebbled surface while applying steam.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your garment, wash the fabric at 40C. Due to its texture, it is advisable to use a universal needle (size 70/10 or 80/12) to avoid snagging the weave. Always pre-wash your fabric before cutting to account for any initial shrinkage. Because of the synthetic nature common in crepe weaves, test your iron temperature on a scrap piece before pressing seams to ensure the texture is not flattened by excessive heat. Store the fabric in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve the depth of the navy color.
