The Minerva Core Range Medium Water Resistant Fabric is an ideal choice for crafters and home decorators who require a durable, structured material for projects like aprons, sturdy bags, and light upholstery. Its 225gsm weight ensures excellent shape retention and resilience, making it a reliable workhorse for functional household items. While it offers superior durability and a practical wipe-clean surface, potential users should note that the fabric is not intended for outdoor heavy-weather exposure or machine washing, which may affect the protective water-repellent coating over time.

No, it is designed for wipe-clean maintenance. Machine washing may degrade the water-repellent finish.
This fabric is water-resistant, but it is not rated for permanent outdoor use. We recommend it for indoor projects or sheltered areas.
It is perfect for bags, utility aprons, cushions, storage bins, and light upholstery.
It has a medium weight of approximately 225gsm.
Yes, its structure and weight make it excellent for projects that require rigidity and shape retention.
Yes, it features a bold, deep purple tone that is consistent throughout the fabric.
Switch to a fresh, heavier-duty needle (size 90/14 or higher) to better penetrate the dense finish.
Use a very mild soap solution on a soft cloth; gently dab the area and wipe with a clean, damp cloth. Avoid harsh scrubbing.
Apply a fray-check liquid or use a zigzag stitch along the cut edges immediately after cutting your pattern pieces.
To ensure the longevity of your fabric, avoid machine washing, which can strip away the water-repellent treatment. Instead, keep your finished items clean by wiping them down with a soft, damp cloth or a gentle sponge as soon as a spill occurs. When cutting the fabric, use sharp shears or a rotary cutter to ensure clean edges, as the tightly woven structure may fray slightly if cut with dull blades. Store the fabric rolls in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent potential color fading over long periods.
