The Minerva Core Range Washed Cotton Canvas in Bordeaux is an ideal choice for makers and crafters seeking a durable, medium-weight textile that balances structure with a natural, breathable feel. Perfect for bag making, aprons, and home decor, this 260 gsm fabric offers robust performance for long-term use; however, its firm structure makes it less suitable for delicate garments that require fluid draping.

Yes, it is excellent for utility-style clothing like aprons, work jackets, or heavy skirts, but it is not intended for garments requiring a soft drape.
This is a standard cotton canvas and is not specifically treated for outdoor weather resistance or UV protection.
As a natural fibre, it may experience minor shrinkage during the first wash. Pre-washing is recommended if precise dimensions are required.
It is recommended to wash with similar colours to prevent dye transfer, especially during the initial washes.
Yes, use a medium-hot iron. If the fabric is wrinkled, a steam setting or a light spray of water will help flatten the fibres effectively.
Switch to a larger needle size (90/14 or 100/16) and ensure you are using a sharp, high-quality universal or denim needle.
Use a zigzag stitch, a serger, or pinking shears on all raw edges immediately after cutting to stabilize the structure.
To ensure the best results, use a heavy-duty or denim needle (size 90/14 or 100/16) when sewing this fabric to avoid skipped stitches due to the thick weave. A standard polyester thread is recommended for high-strength seams.
