Hello,
Thank you for sharing your experience of your recent order with Minerva.
We work hard to keep waste to an absolute minimum at Minerva, and our scrap bags are part of how we ensure all pieces of fabric find a useful function. Makers use these bags for a range of crafting purposes, from stuffing to rag rugging, art projects and more.
Our £4.99 1kg Scrap Bags can include anything from very small samples to larger end-of-roll pieces, and some fabrics may have fault marks, creases, or packaging materials still attached. Based on the description, the contents you’ve received do fall within what is advertised.
However, we we absolutely appreciate that this type of item isn’t suitable for everyone, especially as it is a “buy blind” product. We offer free returns on all UK purchases from Minerva and if you're not happy with this product, you can absolutely return it for a full refund.
If you are looking for larger more usable pieces of fabric for someone just starting with sewing then our remnant packs might be a good place to start. Each piece in our fabric remnant packs is guaranteed to be at least 50cm long, giving you plenty of fabric to practice and experiment with.
All the best,
Gavin at Minerva
