Win a bolt of nani IRO 2020

It’s the time of the year again for the release of a new range of nani IRO fabrics, and you all know I’m such a big fan of Naomi Ito’s designs that I look forward to this every year. This year’s range is a mix of old and re-worked old favorites, and some new substrates for the first time. I will be sewing up some garments/bags from this year’s collection and will blog about them as I go along. To view the full range of this year’s design, you can go to the official nani IRO website or buy them from Nekoneko.co

The very first design that caught my eye this year is this beautiful piece of art called Jardin, which means garden in French. And this particular colorway really makes the colors pop and this fabric is so so so gorgeous in real life. This is a double gauze which is super soft and cozy yet breathable for warmer weathers. I am not used to wearing such colorful or floral pieces though, so I used the Short Sleeve Work Dress (pattern N) from the book The Nani Iro Sewing Studio but cropped to the The Work shirt’s (pattern P) length instead.

After making the top which is meant to be a casual piece for wearing with jeans, now I’m thinking this fabric will be even more amazing on a dress. But I didn’t have enough fabric! Unfortunately this is sold out already on nekoneko.co but more stocks will be coming in soon! This is by far the most popular design in the store this year and it’s literally flying off the shelves.

If you want to have some of this lovely fabric, either wait for the restock happening real soon, or take part in our contest!
