Sounds like a no brainer to me. This snake skin jacket, as I call it, was my 1st Minerva make and I’m so happy I can finally share it with you guys! The fabric is called Woven Jacquard Fabric Taupe and it’s actually on sale right now for £5.99.

So, what took so long for me to be able to share? Well, there was a website redesign and rebranding on Minerva’s end and then Covid happened. I am happy to announce that the new Minerva.com website is up and it’s really super cool. It reminds me of a Facebook and IG all together for the sewing community.
