This pattern was created by designer Naomi Ito for her Nani IRO line. Ito works primarily in watercolor, drawing inspiration from nature and Japanese art and mingling minimalism, a light hand, and an extraordinarily sharp eye. Ito’s designs can run the gamut from gentle and soothing to lively and dynamic, but they are, at all times, deeply poetic and extremely well thought out.
New Morning is a floral design with light watercolor brush strokes in pale but vivid tones. It captures the freshness of a morning in bloom as the first rays of sunlight sift through the flowers. The contours of blossoms are highlighted here and there with slender silver strokes. The pale green background is fresh and light.
This fabric is made in a twill weave of very fine cotton and silk threads. It is light, soft, and very touchable, but the weave and its higher thread count make it surprisingly strong.
This fabric is a great choice for a blouse, shirt, or dress. If you go for a looser cut, it will drape beautifully. It would also make for a great neckerchief or summer scarf and could be wonderful in a pair of lightweight curtains, especially in a romantically styled or minimalist interior.
Machine wash cool (30°C). Iron on cotton setting. Because this is a delicate fabric, select a lower spin cycle; gentle handling will prolong its lifetime.
Generally, pre-shrinking is needed for linen, cotton, and rayon, but for finer fabrics (light rayon, Tencel and modal) proceed with care – don't use hot water or a hot iron, simply launder the fabric the way you will be laundering the completed garment.
Most of our fabrics are one-time offers that last until they are sold out. However, some more popular items are always restocked or can be ordered on request. As a rule, this applies to notions, where the selection is pretty consistent, but may also include some types of fabric. Look at the product's availability value – it shows whether the goods are available while supplies last, in the core inventory or in a seasonal collection.
The goods in the seasonal collection come directly from our verified manufacturers. We change up the colors on offer from season to season but fabric quality is always constant. For large (wholesale) orders, colors that have been sold out can be reordered individually.
Limited editions are fabrics of exceptional quality or patterns that have been designed and produced exclusively under the Sartor brand. As a rule, they do not repeat and are therefore only available while supplies last. Don't miss your chance to own a true original.
