The Minerva Core Range Pebble Textured Stretch Woven Crepe is an ideal choice for dressmakers and DIY enthusiasts who need a versatile, elegant fabric for flowy garments like blouses, dresses, and skirts. This lightweight textile provides a professional finish with a subtle pebbled texture and excellent fluid drape, though sewers should note that its lightweight 120 gsm construction may require lining for more structured or opaque projects.

It is light-to-medium weight. While ivory is a light color, it offers good coverage, but you may want to line skirts or dresses depending on your preference.
The fabric is sold by the metre and is cut from the roll as one continuous piece.
Like most crepe weaves, it can fray. It is recommended to finish your seams with a serger or a zigzag stitch to secure the edges.
Yes, the 3% elastane allows for a slight stretch, making it suitable for semi-fitted garments, though it is best suited for flowy styles.
It is crease-resistant, so you shouldn't need to iron much. If you do, use a cool to medium iron and test on a scrap piece first.
Adjust your machine tension slightly lower and ensure you are using a sharp, fine-gauge needle.
Use plenty of pins or clips and consider using a walking foot or tissue paper underneath the seam to stabilize the fabric.
To ensure the best results, use a standard 70/10 or 80/12 universal sewing machine needle. Because the fabric is slippery due to its crepe finish, using a walking foot or lowering the presser foot pressure can help maintain even stitches.
