Minerva Fabrics: dressmaking fabric, patterns and festive sewing gifts

Shopping at Minerva Fabrics? See all current Minerva Fabrics discount codes and deals, checked regularly.

Minerva is a UK online shop for dressmakers and crafters. It sells fabric by the metre, paper and PDF sewing patterns from its own range and from independent designers, plus haberdashery such as thread, needles, notions and sewing gifts. It also runs a busy community side, with blog posts, Minerva TV and makers sharing what they've sewn, so it suits anyone from a first-time sewist to someone who makes most of their own clothes.

The fabric pages are practical: you can order a sample before committing to a full length, and tick a box to add a matching thread or needle. Prices are shown per metre, so it's easy to work out the cost of a project from the pattern's fabric requirements.

What's worth a look

Here are six things on Minerva when we checked, from fabric to patterns and gifts, with the prices shown on the site.

The deadstock fabrics are where the bargains are. The Deadstock Heavy Polyester Viscose Suiting Fabric in Check Design 1 is £5.99 a metre, down from £9.99, which makes a winter skirt or trousers very affordable. Pair it with a pattern like the Tilly and the Buttons Manon Jacket (£19.50) or Minerva's own Victoria Blouse, which comes in paper and PDF formats.

For gifts, the Kylie And The Machine 2026 Advent Calendar has 24 windows of sewing treats for £70, and the Sarah Hearts snow globe needle minder is a smaller stocking filler at £16.99.

The Deadstock Soft Jumbo Cord Fabric in Cobalt Blue (£10.99 a metre) is another good winter option for pinafores, jackets and wide-leg trousers. Deadstock means it's surplus fabric from other makers, so once a colour has gone it may not come back. If you spot one you like, it's worth checking how much your pattern needs and buying it all in one go so the dye lot matches.
