Nani Iro 2024 Fabric Collection

The much anticipated Nani Iro 2024 Fabric Collection has arrived and, as always, it does not disappoint. With new artworks and a fresh, vibrant colour palette, this collection is perfect for all your summer sewing projects.

Designed by Japanese artist Naomi Ito for Kokka Fabrics under the brand name Nani Iro, these designs have a beautifully distinctive hand painterly quality to them.

From 2024 onwards, all the Nani Iro cotton double gauze fabrics will be made using organic cotton, not only that, the entire lineup will be made of natural materials including linen, silk and tencel. 

This year, five stunning new designs have been introduced, each printed in a choice of colourways and on two different fabric bases per design. There are four floral designs in varying scales along with one painterly subtle stripe design called Touch a Chord. 

Sitting alongside, and complimenting the new designs is a small reprint series of long-selling patterns that continue to be loved. This year they have rested past favourites such as Lei Nani and Birds Eye and, instead have re-introduced Encounter, shown below, as well as Saaaa Saaa.

The pattern for the dress above is from Nani Iro Sewing Studio, a book containing 18 beautiful sewing patterns designed by Naomi Ito to compliment her fabrics.

All of these beautiful designs sit together perfectly to create a cohesive collection. I hope you love these fabrics as much as I do and I can't wait to see what you make.
