The Minerva Core Range Riviera Water Resistant Coating Fabric in Grey is designed for crafters and DIY enthusiasts seeking a durable and easy-to-maintain material for projects that require protection from the elements. Its key benefit is its water-resistant coating, making it ideal for outdoor or high-use items. A potential caveat is that while water-resistant, it is not fully waterproof and may require additional sealing for prolonged exposure to heavy rain.

No, the fabric is water-resistant, meaning it repels water to a degree, making it suitable for light spills and showers. It is not designed for prolonged submersion in water.
The fabric is sold by the metre. You can order the number of metres you require, and it will be cut as one continuous piece from the roll.
While durable, it is best suited for projects like cushions rather than heavy-use upholstery where continuous rubbing might affect the coating over time. Always test a sample first.
For best results, wipe clean with a damp cloth. For tougher stains, use mild soap and water, then air dry. Avoid machine washing unless absolutely necessary, and always use a gentle cycle.
It is ideal for bags, outdoor cushions, tablecloths, aprons, craft pouches, and other items that benefit from water resistance and easy cleaning.
The fabric weighs 200gsm (grams per square metre).
The fabric has a width of 147cm (approximately 58 inches).
Ensure you followed the gentle washing and air-drying instructions. Prolonged or improper washing can affect the coating. Consider a fabric re-proofer suitable for polyester if needed.
This is a medium-weight fabric with some structure. For projects requiring more drape, consider a lighter-weight fabric. For very structured items, its weight is suitable.
Finish the raw edges of the fabric using a serger, zig-zag stitch, or by turning and hemming to prevent fraying.
This fabric is sold by the metre and cut from a roll, arriving as a single continuous piece. No specific 'setup' is required other than cutting and sewing to your desired project. It is compatible with standard sewing machines and techniques suitable for medium-weight fabrics.
